My son wants a device for listening to podcasts continuously through the night (no screen or wifi desired). Would this work well?

I've used this iPod continuously for up to 8 hours (shorter if I skip songs frequently), so I think this would do well for listening to podcasts through the night. It might require charging right away in the morning though.

Hello,they have games and apps for older children (which I haven't tried yet since mine are 5 and 2 years old). Plus the new Innotab 2S is Wifi ready so that would probably be really cool for her.

I bought tis for my husband at Christmas. He has not tried that with it. It might have some games, but he thinks it would be very limited. HOpe that helps you.He does love it for the music streaming, though!

I have no idea what your question refers to. I use that device to feed my B&O; receiver and it works fine,listening to Pandora, etc. And, if you got a more tech answer,what would you do with it? Get more music? Get less music? What?

I have not done podcasting but I use it extensively for video capture and voice - works great for this and I would think it would work well for podcasting as well

It's great for a portable listening device... In the bathroom... On the deck... Pier... Backyard. Not sure how good it'd be for that. I'd get a soundbar. But I guess it would work. Hope that helps.

We downloaded voxer and use it as a direct walkie talkie to talk to kids. Good app. Otherwise its a tablet not a phone. Im sure any wifi phone app will work but voxer is all weve tried it is free

Also was going to buy, but opted for a very cheap MP3 player ($12.99), $.99 brown noise song (74 mins), and used my iHome portable speaker (~$20)-all from Amazon. Cheaper and I can use the things separately when I want. My husband does have to turn it on when he gets up, but no biggie.

There is a program called UKtube which allows you to watch youtube videos on this tablet. http://maemo.org/downloads/product/ukmp If your son is a bit geeky then he will love this tablet. It has quite a lot of online software developed by other users. http://konttoristhoughts.blogspot.com/2007/08/ukmp-151-combined-with-updated-uktube.html. Looks like the Nokia 800 is cheaper online now than you can get this one here, so I'd check that out. It is the successor to this tablet and I understand has improvements including it can play youtube out of the box.

It's pretty good. I listen to podcasts streaming from my phone and the sound is audible on busy city buses. The range of the device is extremely limited, but that just means you have to keep your phone in a nearby pocket.

cool thanks a bunch! Haven't ordered one yet, been reading the reviews first. I just got an I-touch and wanted something to listen to it on other than the earplugs. Has anyone tried the video output to the t.v yet?

I just wanna say, for the record, that you really should be able to do this. Frankly, I'm not sure I'm gonna hang onto this thing if it doesn't handle podcasts more gracefully. It's slick... but it seems crazy that it can't just automatically subscribe. Presumably, this'll change as more third party apps become available, but we'll see...

OKAY! Thanks. We're due to receive it on Wednesday so I'll know in a couple days. I just need to get my kid off my phone, wanting to play apps all the time. So, I hope it'll at least be good for that. It would be cheaper than the leappad systems/tablets if so!

This will work marginally without an antenna (e.g. testing password or settings while sitting near corresponding device on a desk) but for useful transmission you'll need an antenna (I suggest an 8dbi like engenius if you just need something basic).

The YDS11sl will work but they also have a Bluetooth model if his iPod is capable.

In general, Yes. But each podcast has a different volume and time to time, you don't need to turn up your device. Overall, this device is loud enough to listen to it in a noisy environment.
