Review: Mediafly Hits BlackBerry & Upgrades iPhone App (by Jason Reese of GearDiary.com)

Jason Reese of GearDiary has written an outstandingly-detailed review of the Mediafly BlackBerry and iPhone applications. Click here to read the article.

Here is his summary:
 
What I Like: The service itself is device-agnostic, meaning you can access your selected content from a wide range of devices.  The BlackBerry beta handles audio podcasts flawlessly, and provides an intuitive user interface.  I was able to access the same channel content through both the BlackBerry and iPhone without any cumbersome setup or having to “plug in” and connect to a computer.  The iPhone application has been updated to be faster, with a smoother UI.  Mediafly leverages the iPhone/iPod Touch video playback with their selection of video podcasts.

What Needs Improvement: Very little. I am hopeful that Mediafly’s channel content will continue to grow, as that will attract and retain more users.   I would love to see a future release to support video podcasts on the BlackBerry (right now it is Audio Only for BlackBerry devices).  I can’t think of any suggestions for the iPhone version.

Get It: The BlackBerry Beta is Open.  You can download the application from your BlackBerry Browser by going to http://www.mediafly.mobi .  The iPhoneiPod Touch app can be downloaded from Apple’s App Store.  Here are direct links to the free Audio Version as well as the $0.99 Audio+Video Version.
