Info/description:
BeyondPod is a free, open source, RSS feed reader and podcast manager (podcatcher) for Microsoft Smartphone and Pocket PC. Using BeyondPod you can subscribe for RSS feeds, read the feed content, download and listen to associated podcasts (enclosures) directly on your mobile device. BeyondPod also provides a convenient way to play downloaded podcasts using a built in media player with features like configurable "TiVo style" commercial skip, tracking of played time, easy cleanup of played podcasts and many others. Features: * One application for all your RSS needs. You can subscribe to RSS feeds, read the content, download and play podcasts - all in a single application.
* Supports Atom, RSS 2.0 ad OPML feeds. Feeds can be read even while you are offline.
* Sophisticated podcast download engine gives you complete control of how many podcasts to download and how long to keep the old versions. Updates and podcast downloads are executed in the background while you read the feed content.
* Integrated podcast player tracks automatically what podcasts you have listened to. (You can also configure BeyondPod to use an external media player).
* You can schedule feed updates and podcast downloads daily at given time
* Supports both importing and exporting of OPML files. You can also subscribe to online OPML feeds the same way you subscribe to RSS/Atom feeds.
* Integration with Google Reader allows you to easily to sync your Reader subscriptions.
* Feeds can be assigned to various categories (News, Sports, Technology etc.). You can quickly filter your feed list based on a category.
* Up to 2 categories can be assigned to a feed (for example Favorite and News) so you can quickly view (and update) only your "favorite" feeds across all categories.
* BeyondPod gives you full control over what is being downloaded over your data connection. You can update a single feed, all feeds in a given category, or all feeds. You can download a single podcast, the latest podcasts or all podcasts for a given feed. Nothing happens without your knowledge.
* You can create "virtual" feeds based on a content of a local folder (for example if you listen to audio books)
* Works on both devices with and without a touch screen. Windows Mobile 5 and 6 devices are supported. (BeyondPod requires .NET Compact Framework 2 or 3.5.)
* BeyondPod is community supported. It is absolutely free! No Registration! No Ads! Source code is freely available!
How do you use BeyondPod? Download the BeyondPod CAB file directly to your device and run it. Start BeyondPod and add the RSS feeds that you like (there will be a couple of feeds already to get you started). Once the feed is added, you can view the content of each feed directly in the built in web browser. If the feed has podcasts (enclosures), BeyondPod will let you download any podcasts directly to your device. Downloaded podcasts can be played on the built in podcast player (currently based on Windows Media player). You can also use an external podcast catcher to download the podcasts on a PC and later "push" them to your device using ActiveSync. BeyondPod will recognize and manage pushed podcasts as if they were downloaded directly to the mobile device. The Documentation page will have more information about the various features of BeyondPod. Also check the Resources page for additional RSS resources and helpful tips. A comprehensive list of all features available in BeyondPod can be found in our Feature List page. Update Description: v3.0
* BeyondPod views now use a new "kinetic" (iPhone style) finger scrolling. (Keep in mind that the Feed Content view still does not support finger scrolling unless your device has TouchFlow)
* Improved the support for VGA devices and high resolution versions of the icons are now included by default in the install
* When a podcast finishes playing, the associated feed item is automatically marked as "read"
* You can now delete downloaded podcasts directly from the Feed Content view. This feature should make cleaning of the library much easier especially if you turned off the setting for automatic deletion of podcasts at the end of playback.
* Played podcasts have a slightly different icon to help distinguish them from un-played or partially played ones
* In Feeds View, if the Feed has podcasts, pressing the "Right" arrow key now starts playing all podcasts , the same way as if you click on the green feed arrow. This makes it a bit easier for non touch screen devices to access this functionality
* BeyondPod will now automatically check and notify you when new Public or Beta builds are available.
* Added an option to create categories directly from the "Select Category" screen
* There is a new global shortcut to toggle between podcast and player view. The default key is "8" and It can be changed using "Change Button Mappings" link in the Player settings
* On touch screen devices, BeyondPod will now automatically turn the screen of 10 seconds after you start the playback (only if using the Internal Player). There is a setting to control that feature in Tools > Settings > Player Settings
* Added screen transitions between some of the views. There is a setting to turn them on/off in the General settings (Tools > Settings > General Settings)
