PoDiffusion: an innovative functionality for pod devices
Pages 589 - 593
Abstract
Living the era of high technological convergence, it is required to seize the best utilization of ubiquitous devices. This paper presents pod devices and investigates the need for new functionalities such as PoDiffusion. PoDiffusion takes advantage of Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds to develop an integrated speech capability for pod devices. Likewise, PoDiffusion has been developed and tested with respect to compatibility issues, usability issues, and limitations of pod devices.
