I have a axim x51v. I am able to view podcasts on my pc, but how do I get them to my axim? Do I need a specific program?Thanks.

I use newsbreak from illium soft to listen to podcasts and read rss news.

its not perfect, but its pretty good.

Thanks. Someone recommended orb. Do you know about that soft?

Orb is slightly different. Orb will play content (music, video, tv, radio) from your pc onto your axim. So you'll need to have a constant internet connection on your axim wherever you go. great if you're in a wifi hotspot, but not if you aren't.

Newsbreak (or other podcast programs) will download the podcast (music or video) onto your axims sd/cf card so you can listen on the train, car, bus, shops etc...

I second NewsBreak. It's awesome at downloading all your podcasts automatically. I use it in conjunction with MortPlayer, which supports resuming from where you last left off in a podcast/song.
