The superiority of the iPod as the portable data device of choice is on Andy Ihnatko‘s mind as he talks about his upcoming book, “iPod Fully Loaded: If You’ve Got It, You Can iPod It,” from Wiley. Andy discusses how you can put virtually anything (databases, spreadsheets, video, audio and more) on your iPod, and turn it into so much more than just a music player. Then Andy and Chuck discuss the current state and future of free content on the web, pay-for podcasts, why they won’t shell out the money, and why it can be smarter to give content away than sell it.
