For podcasts lovers who are tired of connecting their MP3 players to a PC to download the podcasts they want, CastGrabber is offering something that would make your lives easier. OK, we mean to say that part of your life that you devote to downloading podcasts, and not life in general.

According to the CastGrabber product information listing, the device is a sort of a universal docking station for MP3 players which when connected to a network automatically grabs podcasts and transfers them to the MP3 player. How the device does this is a mystery to us, but it does require an initial setup using your PC.

To download podcasts on your MP3 player all you have to do is plug in the CastGrabber device into a network, connect your MP3 player to the device using the supplied USB cable, create an account at CastGrabber, choose the podcasts that you want to download, and then let the device do the rest of the downloading tasks. How we wished it was always that simple and easy.

In addition to downloading podcasts, CastGrabber will also charge your MP3 player as well. And yes it supports a variety of MP3 players including the iPod (except the iPod Touch), the Zune as well as some from SanDisk, Samsung and also Sony.
