BlackBerry gets streaming podcasts

Having not long set up push-email on the loaner Treo 750 I’ve got (look for a review soon on SlashGear!), I’m starting to understand how people can get addicted to their instantaneous mail delivery.  And I also know the aching, crippling pain of sitting there waiting for mail to drop in.  So impatient BlackBerry owners might be interested to hear that QuickPlay have launched a subscription-based streaming audio service of over 100 audiocasts (think: 5-7 minute podcasts). 

For $7.96 a month (plus the necessary network data charges) you can choose from such providers as ABC News, AccuWeather.com, Clear Channel, Gaiam, MarketWatch.com, The Wall Street Journal and Westwood One.  Content is updated daily, and the program will run on the BlackBerry 7130e and 8700 series as well as the Pearl.

There’s a review here and another screen-shot after the cut…
