Unfortunately just Windows Mobile can play this stuff back, but if you go to their web site you will discover that Take Five even captions a fair amount of their content -- but again -- you have to use Windows Media player to play it back.

Expect to see much more of this. Readers Digest "Home Repair Series", ESPN "How to play Golf", whatever. Bunch of different business models (integrated advertising, symbiotic advertising, outright purchase, free).
