      But it’s not called droidcast. And Wikipedia says video podcasts exist so I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at.

        But it’s not called droidcast.

        Not sure what your point is? The technology and the name was popularized by Apple, not Google. If Google had done it, they could have just as well called it that and it would make no tangible difference.

        And Wikipedia says video podcasts exist so I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at.

        Are you aware that Wikipedia is also user-editable? I don’t care what Wikipedia says, use your brain.

        Ask yourself what is a podcast? Why is it not called “radio”? Why is it not called “video”? Are all podcasts audio interviews? Apply some basic sense here. Watch the old videos from when Steve Jobs introduced it and listen to how he described it.

            Are you aware Wikipedia has sources?

            Then cite the sources, there’s no reason to use Wikipedia as an unnecessary middleman.

            Cites dictionaries

            Once again I’m going to ask you to appeal to a sense of logic and reason instead of authority. These definitions make zero sense.

            For example your second source says “downloaded over the internet” and since YouTube doesn’t allow you to download videos, YT videos would be omitted from that definition.

                Okay, well then, according to your own “respected sources”, this is also not a podcast, so go on with yourself.

            • For example your second source says “downloaded over the internet” and since YouTube doesn’t allow you to download videos, YT videos would be omitted from that definition.

              Everything on the internet is “downloaded” to your device, otherwise you can’t view it. It just means receiving data from a remote server.

                No it is not. You’re using wrong definitions to back up other wrong definitions.

                “Download” means to make a copy and store it on your local device.

                • No, that’s “Download to file” or “Download and save”. Just because some people like to refer to downloading and saving as just “downloading”, doesn’t mean that that magically now means that. You out of all people, who likes to rail against people using wrong definitions, should realise this.

                  The CS definition has never directly implied that downloading must also store the received data.
