I have been killing myself trying to figure out how get podcasts/vidcasts on my pda. I tried Advantgo, Egress, Real Player...etc. What do I do to view these on a pda in the simplest way possible. Thanks in advance!!!!!!!

Well, it really depends on what format they are. Are you trying to download them directly to your Axim? What I usually do is download them first to my desktop then copy them over to my Axim. However, you should also be able to download them directly to your Axim provided you have a good Internet connection.

Moved to Multimedia.

You can use FeederReader on your device to download podcasts directly to your device.

There's an install video that shows the steps you need to follow to install FeederReader. It even includes grabbing the latest Compact Framework, if necessary, and shows you where to look to check if you have the latest.

I encourage you to spend 6 minutes watching it and following along

If you have WM5.0, then you won't need to do all the steps. Details are here:

Then once you get it installed, the Getting Started video for using FeederReader is here:

To play many of the video podcasts, you might need to download a media player that can play them. I recommend TCPMP, but there are many choices available. See the Pocket PC Media Chart for a list of the options: www.FeederReader.com/mediachart.html

Once you get FeederReader set up and downloading a video podcast, if you have difficulty playing the podcast on your device, post on the FeederReader Forums (www.FeederReader.com sidebar "Forums") the specific podcast feed and I can take a look to help you figure out how to play it.

I hope this helps!
