Just released, Beta 0.15 of the Podcaster iPhone Kit! This simple little web page parses your podcast’s XML feed and slaps it into a nice page designed to render well in Safari, which is the browser on which the iPhone operates. It also grabs your feed’s image and displays it as the icons.
See the demo here.
Remember that neither Flash nor Java are supported on the iPhone, but Quicktime is, so all links to episodes go straight to the MP3 files.
Two other things – iPhones apparently use the tel:// handler, so …

We just bought our BMI cover license for the podcast. For only $165 prorated ($288/year) we’re ready to rock. Next up: buying our ASCAP license, too. Once we have the dynamic duo, just about every song out there that’s a cover will be fair game as long as we have permission from the SRCO – the cover artist – to play their cover.
If you are a podsafe artist that also happens to have a repertoire of covers, please feel free to email the MP3s to me at FinancialAidPodcast at GMail …
