Best podcast software

Does anyone here use their pocket pc to download podcasts, if so which is the best one which will download to the SD card?

Mostly Ive been using Garishkernels Egress for podcasts. The latest version handles all feeds/enclosures(podcasts) and also is configurable to download the podcast or just stream as required.
It also has a nifty Today plugin which cyles through new updates
I havent found anything as usefull as it

i've been using skookum for podcasts for the past few months, and had no major issues with it

I recommend Hubdog www.hubdog.com. You can download vidcasts as well!

Thanks Lulugirl.

RSS Readers

I've been using Newsbreak which is a pretty good RSS reader. I'm looking to upgrade to another program and I'm wondering which program does everyone use?

try Spb Insight

very easy to use and you can operate it with one hand

E-Wallet - Freeware!

Hi guys,
Can someone please direct me to a freeware app similar to e-wallet?
I'm not spending money on any more applications.

KeePass is good freeware alternative

eSec

looks like ewallet, i've not used/try it, I have ewallet

This looks good.

I'm still using the e-wallet demo and I'm loving it! I've still got 8 more days. Any more suggestions? please.

I will also recommend KeePassPPC.
One nice benefit of KeePass is that there is also several desktop versions (for PC, Mac, Linux, etc). So you can keep a single database (.kdb) with all of your information, and read it both on your phone as well as on your PC. And of course it is also freeware while supporting the same encryption standards.

Replacement For Viigo?

Just got my HD2. So far, so good. However, my newsreader Viigo absolutely will not function. Crashes every time. Can anyone suggest a good, FREE newsreader for the HD2?
Thanks.

Hey Bob, any luck there?
I only found out about Viigo recently and have never been able to use it on my HTC-TP. Really frustrating, as it looks like a great application.
What's more, there's no way to send these guys a question/comment/report, to let them know that their product is useless for me. Support is only available for registered users, and the only way to register is via the mobile application (which, as I mentioend, doesn't work!).
I'll appreciate it if you send them a support request and update this thread on the results.
In the mean time, let me suggest:
(1) Upvise, which appears to be a great solution, however here too I've had no success thus far running the application on my device.
(2) RSS Hub, which comes with most of the ROMs available on this web site. Main downside for me is you can't auto-download the entire article, unlike in Viigo and Upvise.
(3) If you're syncing your device with MS-Outlook, you can use Outlook as your RSS "downloader", then sync the different RSS channels (folders) with your HD2. You can download entire articles with this. The downside is browsing the different feeds on pocket Outlook, which can be quite tedious.

Thanks for the reply. Since I wrote the message I started working with RSS Hub and have found it to be an acceptable replacement for Viigo.

The missing Apps

hi
I just got my desire (upgrade from Blackstone) and it is amazing.. I am so happy but now down to business.
My Blackstone was tuned to perfection for my app needs (shame about the UI, constant crashing AND slowness despite NRG best efforts with excellent ROMs.)
I have covered lots of my needs and more with great Android Apps (see appbrain thread) but I cannot currently achieve the following.
1. active synch my local outlook email on my laptop.
2. Sling Player (Though I see its coming)
3. Ebook reader for Mobi pocket reader files..... -- I guess I need to move to PDF only and find a decent PDF viewer of which there appears much choice.
4. Some kind of SKYPE/MSN for outside '3' (I have the 3 versions) and checking out Fring.
5. A navigator like Tom Tom for Europe.
cheers

New to android myself .
But just wanted to say that co-pilot for europe is great and support most languages.
Using Aldiko Book Reader for my e-books atm and i like it so far.
Congrats on the Desire btw

Check out Sygic (www.sygic.com) or Navigon (www.navigon.com), both are cool programs. Navigon has a 30 day trial @ Android Market.

1. active synch my local outlook email on my laptop.
Use gmail, or set up exchange syn.
2. Sling Player (Though I see its coming)
Never used it.
3. Ebook reader for Mobi pocket reader files..... -- I guess I need to move to PDF only and find a decent PDF viewer of which there appears much choice.
The pdf viewer is fine. But i dont read books on the phone anyway.
4. Some kind of SKYPE/MSN for outside '3' (I have the 3 versions) and checking out Fring.
Yeah - where the f**k is skype ? Its mental they dont have an android version.
5. A navigator like Tom Tom for Europe.
I missed totom too, but copilot ROCKS !

Download HTC Sync from the HTC Website or it is on the CD that came with your desire.

Download the FREE FBReader from the Market. Read all my MobiPocket files (PRC format) using this.
