Rush podcasts?
They’ll all get hacked in no time flat.
...and the jackass party will know their every move.
I'm not sure how they will get them updated, though. Podcasts are synced to the device when docked with the host computer, which requires a wired USB connection.
The iPod Touch has Wi-Fi, but that requires an access point or "hot spot" with either public or private 'Net access. It cannot be used for synchronization, at least not in the current incarnations of iTunes and firmware.
However, I disagree with McCarthy when he said: “If you’re like me, it’s easier to listen than to read [...]”. No thank you, I can read something in a fraction of the time it takes to listen to it, and my retention afterward is much better.
The GOP problem is a lack of principles and leadership, not the lack of a unified message.
Like giving glasses to the blind.
So they can get accused of indulgence during a time of economic turmoil? That Michael Steele must be doing some fantastic fundraising. I don’t think Republican lawmakers should get free iPods just so they can get some bragging rights. “A group thought by many to be devoid of tech-savvy compared to their Democratic counterparts is attempting to break that stereotype by using technology.”
And how long will it be before the media announces the GOP is now getting their marching orders from an iPod? The seeds are already planted in this very article, where it flat out states the iPod application: “would be used to keep the entire House GOP on a unified message.”
And what if someone loses one of these iPods? And someone less friendly to the House GOP gets their hands on it?
