That was a myth. There was a company that was selling podcast conversion software for non-iPod MP3 players in dept stores that was using a term like "iPodReady." That's who Apple Legal went after.

The news broke just before the Podcast and Portable Media Expo, where Laporte was giving a keynote, and he played it up for all it was worth, and suggested "NetCast" as the replacement.

It went down like a lead balloon.

Now "NetCast" is ready just branding for the TWiT line of podcasts.

I really don't have a problem with calling it something other than a podcast. I guess maybe Apple's backed off, but Apple did go after a few podcasts that used the term in their title. That's why Leo Laporte toyed with the idea of changing it to something else.

#3 -- sorry for any lexicological confusion. Yes, it's a podcast. It's also a "chatcast" since we had multiple people calling in, and Talkshoe calls it a "talkcast." We'll try and sort this out.

Is it a Chatcast, Talkcast or a Podcast? o_O What the hell is going on here? Who wrote this, Leo Laporte? O_o

Why wouldn't the Unofficial Apple Weblog Podcast be called a PODcast? We like iPods here, don't we?
