I never heard from them either. All I know is that Rocketboom currently has an exclusive contract with them and that TiVo is using them as an experiment. They are apparently testing everything with Rocketboom (technologically) and once it is up and running, TiVo may add more videoblogs. Andrew spoke about this in his interview with Business Week (the podcast).
There is an increasing demand for Mobile content, but my show is too large for people to download to their cell. My boyfriend and I are in the process of mobile-ifying our web sites to make them accessible to mobile phones, though. My new site design will launch this weekend. I think the problem with PSP is the limited storage space. We have considered making Kitkast available for PSP, but I think it also has a 16:9 screen and we don't have a PSP to test it out on, so the idea is on the back burner. iTunes is definitely a link to have if you want a broad audience... more than 90% of my subscribers watch the show from iTunes. I was a little surprised the other day, though, when RB added an iTunes link under their embedded video... I wonder if other sites like FireAnt and MeFeedia will be shaking their fists at the link.
