QuickPlay brings podcasts to BlackBerry

QuickPlay today unveiled its new QuickPlayer software for BlackBerry devices such as the Pearl. The downloadable app gives owners of the Canadian-made handheld the choice of streaming subscribed podcasts directly from a central server and can save the trouble of transferring and storing podcasts to space-limited memory cards. QuickPlay says it has over 100 high-profile content providers on tap, ranging from ABC News to the Wall Street Journal. The service is available immediately for $8 per month and requires an existing BlackBerry connected to a cellular provider's data plan. [Via Pinstack]
