[Update: Now iPhones have voice recording built it with the latest software update! See the tutorials on converting and naming audio files to create podcasts. But AudioBoo, the service works from other devices and has some really cool features, like hosting and embed codes, so it’s still worth checking out!!]
AudioBoo is a new service that allows iPhone podcasting. You can download the free application from the iTunes Store, and begin recording, sharing, and publishing podcasts on the fly right from your iPhone. It’s easy and simple to use, sort of like a twitter-type service for quick and easy podcasts.
One of the things I like best about this app is that the podcasts published to AudioBoo’s servers are returned with an embed code, so you can easily embed the player and podcast to any blog or website. (See AudioBoo’s website and click any podcast to see the share codes.)
It also offers Twitter and Facebook updates if you’re so inclined, and the founders have reported that they are working on a WordPress Widget which will pull your latest “boo’s” (podcasts) right into your blog.
The interface for recording is minimal and intuitive, as is the audio player returned with the recorded podcast. Below is a short video walkthrough of recording and publishing a podcast using this app:
