Last week Podcast Ready received a cease and desist letter from Apple Computer regarding our pending trademarks of "Podcast Ready" and "myPodder". A copy of the letter can be found below.  In the meantime, we want to be clear about our current stance regarding this matter.

1. While our legal team is reviewing the trademark cease-and-desist letter from Apple Computer, Podcast Ready^TM assures its growing community of users, partners and supporters that we will continue our efforts to make it easier to subscribe to, manage and share audio and video podcasts on multiple devices.

2.  We encourage anyone who questions Podcast Ready's role in the podcasting community to visit www.podcastready.com to better understand how the services address the obstacles limiting widespread adoption of podcasting by making subscribing and listening to podcasts easier and more portable.  

3.  Podcast Ready also invites anyone to try out the free downloads of myPodder^TM software at www.podcastready.com or preloaded on devices like those available from mobiBLU and COWON.

4. Podcasting is simply the delivery of media through RSS. The podcast community has embraced the free exchange of ideas through video and audio.

5. Podcast Ready will continue to deliver software and services that benefit the community. We appreciate the support of our users, partners, investors and content providers.

The Podcast Ready myPodder acts like a podcast magnet you can attach to your MP3 player. Connect your player to any PC, and myPodder will suck down all of your updated subscriptions (including paid podcasts like the one I think Howard Stern should be offering), without expensive satellites or complex software.
