Review: TypeCast
Jason Snell, Macworld.com
With HP wireless printers, you could have printed this from any room in the house. Live wirelessly. Print wirelessly.
ITunes' podcast support is great. The program always remembers where you pause podcast installments, and iPhone users can sync podcasts on a computer other than the one they use for music and video syncing.
So what if you've got a file you wish were in a podcast-say, an interview downloaded from the Web-but isn't? Red Sweater Software's TypeCast solves this problem by creating a phony podcast in iTunes and filling it with whatever files you drag into its window.
It's a bare-bones tool that fills an esoteric, but sometimes extremely useful, niche.
