how do I get podcasts on my pda using wifi ?

Hi
I have an iPAQ pda with WiFi so I can connect to the internet through my wireless router.
Can I download podcasts directly onto my pda without using a pc ?
I have found something called feederreader ?
thanks

thanks, I have looked at that ....
not sure if the PDA will pick up the feed by WiFi or would still need to use ActiveSync connection to a pc ?
anyone done it just by WiFi ?
thanks again

If you can browse the net with your PDA then yes, as it points out in the article, unless the podcast is torrent based, (in which case you would need to go elsewhere for info) then your pda will be able to play it through the Windows media player.

Where an RSS feed is used, then you may need to use an RSS reader, such as this one, though feeder reader will do equally well


this page has a walk through using feeder reader
I suggest that you save it to an expansion card

The first link is a freeware RSS feedreader, if you decide you don't want to pay
