Podcast Ready has announced that it has partnered with COWON America, maker of the iAudio line of portable multimedia devices, to offer Podcast Ready’s myPodder software preloaded on the entire line of COWON devices.

According to the company, the announcement introduces the first Podcast Ready-enabled portable video devices.

Podcast Ready’s myPodder software is designed to allow for complete podcast portability. Users can plug a compatible COWON iAudio device into any Internet-connected computer and access myPodder to update, subscribe to and manage their favorite audio and video podcasts.
