BeyondPod

BeyondPod is an RSS feed reader and podcast manager (podcatcher) for mobile devices. It allows you to automatically update feeds and download new audio and video podcasts, and keeps them organized for easy navigation.

Features:

• Sophisticated podcast download engine gives you complete control of how many podcasts to download and how long to keep the old versions. Downloads new content in the background, so you spend more time enjoying you feeds, and less time waiting on them
• Integrated podcast player tracks what podcasts you have listened to, and supports automatically deleting podcasts at the end of playback to save space. There is also a configurable TiVo style "commercial skip" that lets you easily skip over content that you are not interested in
• Automatically generate playlists based on your listening preferences
• Home Screen Widget gives you one-button access to your podcasts, SmartPlay, and SmartPlay updates directly from your phone's Home screen
• Integration with Google Reader allows you to easily import your Reader subscriptions. BeyondPod will also synchronize the "Read" and "Starred" status of individual posts so you can read the same feed on both PC or Phone
• Assign feeds to various categories (such as News, Sports, or Technology) for convenient filtering by topic
• Use BeyondPod to discover new podcasts and RSS feeds. Search for feeds, import feeds from a variety of popular directories, from Google Reader, or from external OPML files
• Import any local files (music, audiobooks, voice notes etc) and make them playble in BeyondPod audio/video players as if they were podcasts
• Supports both wired headsets and Bluetooth receiver (via the AVRC profile)
• Use the Sleep feature to automatically turn the podcast playback off after 15, 30, 60, 75 or 90 minutes
