According to the latest Pew Internet memo, more than 22 million American adults own iPods or MP3 players and 29% of them have downloaded podcasts from the Web so that they could listen to audio files at a time of their choosing. That amounts to more than 6 million adults who have tried this new feature that allows internet broadcasts to be downloaded onto their portable listening device. This will continue to grow as an alternative form of information dissemination for the persons on the go and listening while they are traveling et.al. I have been broadcasting my Current Awareness Happenings on the Internet as a mp3 file for the past three years and the current April 4, 2005 edition (V3N14) and three years of archives is available by clicking here.
