Unused Gadgets Are Still Up For New Uses

Recently I realized that we have had the capability to create podcasts for a minimum of 2 years. I bought a MP3 player accessory for a Handspring Visor back in 2003.

Converting WAV files to MP3 files has already been possible with RealPlayer or RealProducer for at least the past 7 or 8 years.

I know that we are not the only ones in this position.

What has changed?

Just the willingness for people to search for, download, and play MP3 files as mentioned before.

The earlier dissatisfaction mentioned probably helps too.

So it helps to check around within our own closets, drawers, and cubby holes since the new applications may be possible with technology already laying around our homes.
