In an attempt to secure a large market among music lovers locally, Apple Computer Inc introduced Podcasting directory service to its iPod users in Taiwan, reported Jason Tan for Taipei Times.

“We are working with 10 radio stations here and consumers will be able to listen to them over at iTunes within a month,” Yeo Eng Yiong, Apple’s product marketing manager for portables in the Asia-Pacific region, said at a media briefing yesterday.

Besides the 10 channels, the service in iTunes, its digital music software and online music store, features over 3,000 free overseas audio programs, making it one of the largest Podcast directories in the world, featuring favorites such as ABC News, BBC, Disney, ESPN and Newsweek.

Apple seems to be aggressively expanding its services to more specific market. The podcasting trend is unstoppable.
