It looks like the TRX phone app for G1 phones will roll out as soon as this week. I’m pretty excited about this.
You’re going to need to be using a 3G network to really get it going, but I think most people are in 3G these days. Though for some reason my house is located right in Edge land.
Basically what this will do is bring the podcast versions of the TalkRadioX shows available to anyone who has a G1 phone. And there’s about a million people who have one of those.
NPR has a similar app which was downloaded somewhere around 50,000 times. I’m not really expecting a million (or 50,000 for that matter) people to be check this out, but I like the idea that people who use the G1 marketplace will at least look at the TRX Podcast icon on the list and have those three letters enter their consciousness. A lot of people will look at the app and consider it for a second.
After this I hope to get one going for the iPhone as well. Of course I don’t own an iPhone so I can’t really test it out, like I’ve been doing with the G1.
An earlier version of what the app will look like. The download side is gone and the shows will now just stream directly.
