New Canola Beta brings podcasting to the N800
Wednesday, June 06, 2007
I played around with Canola when I first got my Nokia N800 and thought it was a pretty good all around media player, but it was kind of buggy. Today I saw that there was an upgrade, so I went ahead and installed it.
The first thing I noticed was that it now has support for internet radio and podcasts. The process for setting it up to receive a podcast is a little difficult, but it works. You have to go into the administrative console and enter your feeds manually. Make sure that you have connection to the internet at this point, because it will parse the feed to get the title, etc.
Once configured, just fire it up and go to the 'Audio' section where you will find the menu item for podcasting. Select one of your feeds; it will parse the feed and present you with a list of the episodes. Once selected, the episode will begin to stream right to the N800. There is no option for downloading or subscribing, but its pretty handy for listening to shows while I work at my desk.Labels: canola, n800, nokia, podcast, podcasting
