Podcast support of any kind is much appreciated, and from what little I've seen C2 will do most things that I want right out of the gate. My thought was just that ultimately it would be nice to have an auto-download feature like the PSP has, where it wakes itself up at a specified time and downloads the latest podcasts and vidcasts if there's a wifi connection. But that's a pure wishlist item, and I understand that there are a lot of features already in there and a lot more that are probably charted already on the roadmap. I'm happy to wait for future releases.

Keep up the good work!

Yes,

I think it's just a fact of not downloading if charges the user =) but I think this will be easy (to identify) if it's wifi or bluetooth gprs connection =)

But for sure, It's great to hear request, as they help us a lot =)

I'm really excited waiting to see Canola 2 in my 770. I really am glad that you still consider 770 worth keeping up to date, though it must give you a lot of extra work. Thank you for that.
I now use 770 for Vagalume (last.fm), controlling MPD on a Debian Slug connected to my stereo and Canola for Internet radio and mp3 streamed with Twonkymedia. Is there any support for MPD in Canola2/ could MPD support be added to the wish list?

Hi MRP,

For sure. I cannot not guarantee that we will have time to do it, but I can add to the final website once the developer's documentation is there. And once theres is already a python library for it, I really believe it could be quite easy to browser and play something.

We also have plans for Last.fm (first audio scrobbling, using maemo scrobbler) then more, but this will be added after a solid fix is made =)

there's so much thing that is out of this first beta that you wouldn't believe.

But we still excited. The dev team is quite tired, they will get some rest but they will come back with a lot of surprises.

Well, its time for release, and lo and behold .... no download still.

Come on all this countdown and all, and then back to the old fashioned 'sorry we cant release as yet, not ready' notice on the website .... dissapointing.

So why have a countdown at all - might as well have stuck to the old fashioned verbiage - "we will release when we are ready".

Well wait some more ...
Just dont take it otherwise, but my post is idicative of how much we looked forward to Canola release and how dissapointing this news is..

Nil :
You have the total right to complain, exactly because we placed a counter on our pages. And the only thing I can say about that is : that we not only really believed that the day would be kept, but we also worked like crazy to meet that crazy deadline. If we knew one week earlier I would have asked the counter to come down.

We actually don't have marketing dep, or any kind of this, so I asked one of my team mates to do a teaser, and because I "confirmed" twice the launching date ... I thought "well, let's make a small countdown" because when there's a dead line we really keep it. Like we did last year.

Then this "outer" force came and paused the launch. I assume 100% of the guilty for the counter and the whole issue, because the Devs were really focused on delivering and we just wanted to make them proud of the website.

So again: Sorry for that, and lesson learned. If we cannot triple check a release date, we will not display any kind of date anymore. Just like you said "a coming soon".

All apologies understood and accepted in good faith, handful.

But more so I appreciate the spirit of openness from you guys and the dialogue with the community. The fact that you explained in so many word ... I am floored.

Allbest and I am still behing Canola and waiting (with a better feeling)

Any estimate on an ETA? Disapointed in the delay but still really looking forward to a great product! Or are you reluctant to go there again??
