VoiceIndigo teams with Samsung for podcasting

Mobile marketing service provider VoiceIndigo announced a worldwide partnership with Samsung to deliver podcasting to the electronics giant's mobile phones. Samsung Mobile Podcasts by VoiceIndigo will arrive preloaded on Samsung handsets beginning with the music-centric dual-face device UpStage, currently available from Sprint; according to VoiceIndigo, it is the first advertising-supported podcasting service to ship bundled on a phone from a major handset manufacturer and a U.S. major carrier. "Samsung Mobile Podcasts puts the consumer back in control by making it easy to obtain personally relevant and compelling programming on the go, from thousands of major content providers," said VoiceIndigo CEO John Mayerhofer in a prepared statement.
