XandMail, announced the availability of Mobile Podcast Solution, a carrier-grade offering that pushes podcast, video or any RSS feeds directly to a mobile phone. According to the company, the user only has to list the RSS feeds he wants to keep an eye on (by directly entering the feed address or using the auto-discovery feature) and choose whether he wants to receive a selection of updates or all new posts, how often and at what time of the day. Mobile Podcast Solution then periodically scans the feeds for updates and when a new post, podcast or video comes up, it is automatically converted into an MMS or a WAP push and sent directly to the subscriber's mobile phone.
