    So since I’ve never owned an iPod I’ve never truly listened to a podcast? Or does the person creating it have to own the iPod?

        But it’s not called droidcast. And Wikipedia says video podcasts exist so I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at.

          Not sure what your point is? The technology and the name was popularized by Apple, not Google. If Google had done it, they could have just as well called it that and it would make no tangible difference.

          And Wikipedia says video podcasts exist so I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at.

          Are you aware that Wikipedia is also user-editable? I don’t care what Wikipedia says, use your brain.

          Ask yourself what is a podcast? Why is it not called “radio”? Why is it not called “video”? Are all podcasts audio interviews? Apply some basic sense here. Watch the old videos from when Steve Jobs introduced it and listen to how he described it.
