Zune Podcast Support
Posted on 10:49 am by Team Zune LuvFirst things first,iIt is not a rumor, Zune supports Podcasting fully and completely (audio and video). Fun to point out that it is not a sub-set or sub-menu of audio or video (like it is on the iPod), it is a category on the top level of the player.
Zune 1 users will be upgraded to the new Podcast-supporting platform. As Gizmodo points out, this is a very cool way to treat your customers and pretty exciting new for all early-adopter Zune users.
Zune will support bookmarking for Podcasts. Not only is this very cool, but is something you don't have on the iPod yet.
New Zunes will output 640×480 for video coded that way. Hi-res video Podcasts will look stellar on your television set. iPod already does this - nice to see Zune catching up.
Wireless sync will automatically update your Zune with the latest Podcasts downloaded to your computer once you are in the same network. There is no need to be tethered to your computer (and it does it in the background). iPod does neither of these things.
These Podcast updates are making many of the biggest Zune complainers change their song. Witness Podcasting News' recent "Five Reasons to Reconsider the Zune" and Geekbrief Episode #239 (can't wait to see what Cali says after she gets the "rumor" the Podcasting is supported confirmed).

One Week Later - The Podcast And New Media Expo 2007 Report | Paul Colligan’s Profitable Podcasting (Pingback)
[…] It's hard to believe that a week ago, I was walking around the Ontario Convention Center catching up with old friends and learning about new technologies at PNME 2007. It's been a crazy week (from one extreme, the Zune Podcasting announcement, and to the other, a house full of flu sufferers) but I've got a chance here to give my final report. […]

This is good, but not good enough. Call me when the Zune can get podcasts directly from the net over wifi without having to sync to a PC.

Apreche,
I'd agree. Problem is - nobody has that yet.
