Popcorn Hour powered by Mediafly -- best audio/video podcast integration yet

Mediafly.com | Chicago, IL - On September 30th, Popcorn Hour launched Mediafly on all Popcorn Hour devices (A-100, A-110, etc.) today as part of their Popcorn Hour MSP. 

If you are not familar with Popcorn Hour, it is an incredible device and in many ways far superior to the Apple TV (and more flexible, extensible).

Popcorn Hour integrated the Mediafly engine to deliver personalized audio and video channels from podcast sources onto the device (free). See the full Mediafly experience by way of flickr slideshow here.  More detailed information is below.

To launch Mediafly, go to the Popcorn Hour

On your Popcorn Hour go to home screen > Media Services > MSP

You will see the Mediafly dragonfly as shown below

You will then see your default list of channels -- your Hot Channels as shown below. Once you personalize your device (i.e. link it to your Mediafly profile) you can customize your channels by selecting specific video and/or audio shows and episodes which you want. The instant you change something on Mediafly.com it is changed on your Popcorn Hour channels (as well as your other linked devices, such as Chumby).

 This is one of my all time favorite episodes from Dan Carlin's Hardcore History -- and very appropriate to the banking and lending crisis going on right now...
