Textcasting

We all know about audio and video podcasts, but I can't recall reading anything about "text" casts to read content on your mobile device . . . until today . . . As noted in this blog post, it is possible to use an online mobile feed reader (I used Bloglines which works great on my Cingular 8125), but that only works when I'm hooked into an Internet connection. What about an easy way to sync text based content to all of those mobile devices (such as an iPod) that are not Internet or cell phone enabled? As the author asks, is there such a thing as a downloadable RSS Reader for your mobile? It looks like Slate has figured out a limited way to address this (currently just using iTunes) to work on the only the most recent iPod versions. Hmmm . . . worth a bit more research, I'd say . . .
