Erwin Van Hunen has been a busy guy this past week or so. He’s been spending long hours working on Doppler, an enhanced client for subscribing to Podcasts for Windows users.

You can download the RC1 version now, and soon you’ll be able to download a new version, which I have had the privilege of testing and helping out with in a small way.

The beauty of this community is the open effort to make something new and exciting work. Erwin’s client tool is a great step toward making podcasting accessible for people who don’t understand RSS or any of those other geeky things, and that’s exactly what’s needed: Usability and the connected accessibility to content for people like my mom, who really want to use new and fun technology but tend to be challenged in getting there.
