BBHub notes that the BlackBerry platform will get its first media player software, BerryCast, starting next month. If this is half as good as it sounds and if it's an open platform based on RSS, the BlackBerry could rival the iPod as a device for consuming "podcasts." I would much rather have podcasts follow me around on a 3G device than have to remember to sync them to an iPod.
Expect iPods to continue to rule music. However, I am betting that other devices like Treos, Windows Mobile smartphones and BlackBerries will start to encroach on iPods as podcast consumption tools as broadband wireless becomes more prevalent.
