iPodderX now Transistr
Last
month, at just around this time, we reported that iPodderX was in search of a
new name. It seems that the seach is over, and after consulting
with some lawyers (good idea, guys) Transistr has been choosen.Details are very light on what exactly Transistr will consist of, but it seems that it will be a newsreader as well as a 'podcatcher.'
Thanks, iData

Oh, so they did get other submissions? I thought they only got one, so they had to go with it. After the contest closed, I was using iPodderX and realized since it's only designed to do one thing at a time (download only one file from one feed and can't export to a media player while it's doing anything else), I thought I could have suggested "Poddleneck", but they didn't want "Pod" in the name, so my second choice was "Pain In The RSS".

BTW I used to have some stars here... what gives? Is it because my email address has changed? In fact, i'm still in the list for contributors with 3 stars (20th spot) but now when i post i have none. Not that it really matters..
