NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 2005--VIDITalk Corporation, a leading provider of video messaging software, today announced the release of a new feature that enables users to easily create and distribute video podcasts instantly, representing another medium for transmitting video messages.
According to Jori Clarke, CEO of SpectraCom Inc. and president of Circle 1 Network, an August 2005 Internet According to Kids Study found 12 percent of kids have iPods and 47 percent want iPods.

According to Scott Krugman, vice president of the National Retail Federation, the iPod has now hit the "Top Toys List" for the first time this year.

This is creating a huge demand for applications that can build on the current podcasting craze."
