It's got a wide range of features, allows you to manage and and via what connection you download, keeps track of what you've listened to, and even holds your place on multiple podcasts, so you can come back to any that you've started later, and pick up where you left off. It has an override for the default audio output, so you can listen on your bluetooth headset, phone speaker, speakerphone, or wired headphones. and it supports video podcasts, (if you're blackberry can play them). There are updates and new versions out on a fairly regular basis, and the author keeps a forum for support and actually answers questions. For $9.99 (soon to be $13.99) if you enjoy podcasts on the go, it's worth every penny. Podtrapper seems to be the best podcast software for the blackberry, by far.

It resides on your blackberry or mp3 player (set up as a mass storage device) and downloads directly to the device. No software on your desktop. The benefit is that you can plug it into any computer (home pc, work pc, pc at a library..... whatever) and update your podcasts. Your download history is stored on your device. I have recently started using a blackberry and I was very happy to see that mypodder works great on my curve. I will have to check out the podtrapper software though. I have the all you can eat data plan, so over the air syncing would be ideal. Look ma, no wires. I have been using Podcast Ready’s mypodder software for several years now.

It basically does ipod-style podcast downloads on your blackberry. You add you podcasts using the RSS feed url and it automatically downloads the most recent x unlistened to episodes. Also, when listening to a podcast on the blackberry, you can pause and when you go back it will start back up where you left off. You can download episodes over the air or using your desktop. It is very new and still has a few rough edges, but the author have been putting out updates regularly and is very responsive to problems and feature requests. I've been waiting for something like this forever so I am very happy. I used to hve to carry both a blackberry and an ipod. Since getting PodTrapper, I've given my ipod to my wife and we are both happier. :) Free trial download here... http://www.versatilemonkey.com/ -josh I have been using PodTrapper for the past few weeks and have been *very* happy.

But before we do this, I wanted to get some feedback on the functionality of the bberry userbase. Does anyone know which carriers or other factors would make a download app successful? We have a test app which does a simple httml fetch of a few files to give us some profile information. You need an SD card. If you are willing to help us test this, we'll give you the app for free once it is done. you can get it at www.mediafly.mobi from your bberry browser.

On my BB Curve, I have Opera Mini. With that, I just pick on the mp3 file icon, go to select, then save to sd card. I love it. Its a manual download. That's the way I like it. Sprint's EVDO will download a 10mb file in approx. 8 min. 10mb is 45 min. of listening. I download directly from the websites, the mp3 podcasts.

Theoretically, you wouldn't have to mess with moving all those audio files--they would be automatically downloaded into folders located on the Blackberry's memory card.

Granted, I had my points on Handango and a discount that applied and ultimately paid about $3.95 for it, so it was worth the risk. But, I'm quite satisfied with it. The ability to enter custom rss feeds, download to my SD card and go back later to browse the downloaded ones, are well implemented features. Maybe my tastes are simple, but he fact that I can download OTA (with various options - everything from BIS to WiFi) is what sold me on this. I have a Curve and it works quite nicely. I read the thread linked to the blackberry forums, those seem to be older posts. The version I installed around the 8th. By far, the cincher is that I can use bluetooth audio. Not just from stereo headphones - but from an earpiece, the regular kind you use for phone conversations. OF all the programs I have, this is the only one that works consistently each and every time int he output method I choose. I'd recommend audiobay, but then again, maybe my taste is simple...
