An interesting fact about Escarpod is that it is a project by a team of dedicated (and fairly famous) UIQ programmers led by Sebastian Brannstrom, aka teknolog, Lars Persson, aka anotherguest, and a few other members.
Escarpod is a podcatcher for UIQ - a downloader and player of podcasts. Podcasts are radio shows published and distributed on the Internet by individuals and corporations. Since Escarpod runs on Internet connected smartphones and can download shows by itself, it is one of the most powerful and convenient mobile podcatchers on the market!
Escarpod automatically keeps track of your favorite shows, and lets you download new episodes whenever they are published. It supports wireless downloading over 3G networks, as well as Wireless LAN or Bluetooth PAN if your phone supports it. You can even download files on your computer and play them from your memory card. It displays show info and cover art, and even keeps track of your last position inside episodes between runs, so you can finish listening whenever you have time!
Escarpod is open source, meaning that it is free to download, use and even modify if you'd like. You can always download the latest version of Escarpod for free from the Bergamot Project website, http://bergamot.googlecode.com
