Thanks to Yahoo! and Samsung, your DriveCast managed contents can now be watched from your sofa on the new Samsung Internet Connected TV sets.

If you have a latest TV from Samsung, use your remote control to access the Widget Gallery, and add the DriveCast widget to your TV.

Some hour ago was published on the AppStore a lite (and free) version of DriveCast application for iPhone and iPod Touch.

With this version, now it is possible to “taste” the goodness to have always a DriveCast in your pocket: downloading and playing media you have in your DriveCast Library will be always possible, also without using a computer… Just be connected to a wi-fi network (UMTS is only available in full version).

DriveCast Lite is available from the App Store:

Here it is also full version link:

However, we remember that both DriveCast Lite and DriveCast for iPhone and iPod Touch were created from an external developer, and its webpage is:

DriveCast has been developed thanks to the official Drivecast APIs, available for all developers.
The API specification and documentation are available at:

Well, people using DriveCast and reading this blog already know we want to help you to get the best content from Internet to a device of your choice, be it a mobile media player or your car infotainment system.

Now thanks to the new Internet enabled television set from Philips, you can listen and watch your DriveCast Library seated on your couch using the standard remote control.

Below an handmade video directly shot on a Philips Net TV, to show all the features of our service.

P.S.
More TV brands will be supported soon.

MultiMedia WebRecorder (MMWR for short) is the Firefox Add-On developed by some of the same programmers behind the DriveCast project, that allows the “personal recording” of what you listen or watch on the web.

Now MMWR becomes an official Firefox Add-on, available at the page: https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/8818. You can choose if you prefer to use the “Offical” version validated and tested by the Firefox AMO reviewers, or to continue to use the ”Lab” version with the latest updates from the DriveCast team.

A big thanks goes to the Firefox AMO reviewers, for helping us to iron-out the the detail about compatibility with all the other Firefox Add-ons and the rule of good-behaviour for the code in the great Firefox house.

Thanks to all the suggestion sent us by the many user, we think we have identified the best compromise beetwen the need for speed (with low file sizes) and the quality of the audio for the radio recording.

From now on all the radio recordings done by DriveCast will be mp3 at 128 Kbit/sec, joint stereo sampled at 44.1 Khz. Up to now, recording in mono, we were honestly just optimized for the talk radio, and we hope this will make happy the many of you who need to record other kinds of stream.

DriveCast’s supported device family has got a new son…

One month ago we presented iPod support and, now, we are glad to present TomTom support (models with mp3 reader).

Sync operations are always the same: just plug a TomTom and wait for the end of sync.
