  • Unconference Discussion on Podcast Directories

    On Friday, Sep. 29, 2006 from 4:15-4:45 p.m. I am hosting a discussion on Podcast Directories at the Podango sponsored Unconference  which is at their booth at the 2006 Podcast and Portable Media Expo (PME).

    My position is:

    "Every podcaster needs to get their podcast into what seems like an ever increasing number directories to help them reach the right audience. These directory submissions can be complicated, time consuming,redundant, and could be used for RSS/Feed hijacking. To make matters worse, some of the most major directories are black box silos that can frustrate and annoy even the most patient person. What can be done about it?!?? Let’s discuss …".

    If anyone has any ideas they’d like to share and can’t be at the conference, then please send me direct email: sholden@pobox.com.

    If you are at the expo and want to have a discussion, come to the Podango booth at 4:15-4:45 p.m. (Friday) if it works in your schedule.

  • Pilot Review by Aviation Now for Pilatus PC-12

    September 25, 2006

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    Aviation Now has a detailed pilot’s report by Fred George on the new Pilatus PC-12/47.  It is a great read.  Some take-a-ways:

    • Range with full tanks and 7 passengers is 1,450 nm
    • Main rival is the Raytheon King Air B200
    • Standard integrated GPS is the Honeywell KLN90B but you can upgrade to the Garmin GNS530/430
    • Sales continue to be brisk, and resale market profitable. A total 80 units sold in 2005.  Some 600 have been sold since introduction of this model.

    Here is the Pilatus PC-12 product page.

  • Quick Market Survey on MP3 Players

    September 24, 2006

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    +

    The San Diego Union-Tribune Sunday paper had a good number of non-Apple MP3 players for sale (cash prices listed).  Here is a sample of what I saw:

    • Big Lots! – RCA Lyra 256-MB MP3 Player for $29.99
    • Target – Memorex 512-MB MP3 Player for $58
    • Office Depot – Philips 1GB MP3 Player for $69.99 (with a $30 mail-in rebate offer); Archos 4GB Mp3 Player for $159.99 (with a $20 mail-in rebate offer)
    • Best Buy – Samsung 1GB U2JZ MP3 Player  for $79.99; Sandisk 2GB E250 MP3 Player for $129.99
    • CompuUSA – Sandisk 2GB E250 MP3 Player for $129.99
    • Circuit City – Sony 2GB Flash Digital Music Player for $129.99; Creative Labs 8-GB Zen MicroPhoto MP3 Player for $179.99; and Creative Labs 30GB Zen Vision:M for $299.99

    It should be noted that the RCA Lyra also has a SD/MMC slot for expansion storage.  And the San Disk E250 has a Mini-SD slot for additional storage.

    Also the only direct Apple iPods advertising that I saw was for the 30-GB Black or White iPod via BestBuy’s online store (no price listed).
