o Report: 29% of iPod, MP3 Player Owners Have Downloaded a Podcast

Washington -- Of the estimated more than 22 million American adults who own an iPod or other digital music player, 6 million or 29% have downloaded a "podcast" audio program from the Internet, according to a new survey from the Pew Internet and American Life Project. Most podcasts consist of talk radio programs produced by either amateurs or professional media groups; NPR recently launched a slate of podcasts for most of its popular radio programs. Free podcast software is first downloaded to a PC, which may then be programmed to automatically download MP3 files of audio programs and sync them to a connected iPod or other player. The Pew survey also found that nearly half of iPod owners ages 18-28 have downloaded podcasts, compared with 20% of owners over age 29.

"The new emerging market of TV on mobile requires breakthrough solutions that will overcome issues of mobility, power consumption, and physical size, while minimizing the overhead on the already-sensitive bill of material of hand held devices," said Siano board member Dr. Ulrich Schumacher.

(San Francisco) Cable TV network Starz Entertainment Group on Monday introduced a new range of features for its video-on-demand services, which company president and CEO Robert B.

The features include a "bonus button" visible when a movie is purchased that links off to complementary short-form programming and movie recommendations; a new navigation system; and additions to its VOD library like foreign-language and independent films that would not likely be aired on Starz' linear channels.

(Sydney) ZDNet Australia on Monday reported on the popularity in Australia of using the BitTorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing application to download episodes of U.S. TV programs, which Australian broadcasters purposefully delay from airing to increase demand. "These delays provide a window of opportunity for viewers to upload TV programs after their American broadcast date, thereby making them available to viewers outside of the U.S., and viewers within the U.S. who may have missed the program," Alex Malik, a former Australian record industry lawyer and author of a report on the issue, told ZDNet Australia. "While there are no accurate Australian BitTorrent usage figures, anecdotal evidence and reports from online forums suggest that Australians are downloading TV programs in large quantities."

(Washington) The Associated Press recently reported on companies that have cropped up to provide legal campus digital media download services, including Ruckus Network, Cdigix, Sea Blue Media, Napster and RealNetworks. The university market is especially important to major record label Sony BMG, which recently provided the University of North Carolina with $150,000 to launch such a service, and has paid the entire bill at some schools during a trial semester. "We're reaching into our pockets," Sony BMG CEO Andrew Lack told AP. "At a certain point, the universities have to step up, too, but this is about an investment in the future." William Raduchel, CEO of Ruckus Network added, "If kids build a habit to not pay for media, that is a habit that will persist maybe for their entire lives."
