BlackBerry gets streaming podcasts

And I also know the aching, crippling pain of sitting there waiting for mail to drop in.

Songbird Audio Tool collects podcasts

Think of it as a combined audio player and podcasting manager, only you don’t necessarily need to download a file to play it – Songbird can create m3u playlists on-the-fly to stream any number of audio files from a site.
