Overdrive offers wireless download application
By Paul Biba
A new OverDrive app will let you download audiobooks from libraries or e-stores directly to your Windows Mobile device.
Looking at the OverDrive site, you can find the link to the Windows Mobile application on the right hand side of the page, under the Windows Mobile category. Unfortunately the page gives no information about the application itself. Also, Windows Mobile is rapidly losing its already small market share to Symbian and the iPhone, so hopefully OverDrive will come out with something for the majority of the market. Here’s a slightly edited excerpt from an OverDrive news release:
OverDrive…announced the release of the first in a series of free digital book applications for mobile devices. OverDrive® Media Console™ for Windows Mobile® enables users with Windows Mobile phones to wirelessly download audiobooks, music, and video to their devices and play the titles with the same superior navigation features of OverDrive’s desktop software. To view a list of supported devices including Sprint Palm Treo™, AT&T Samsung Jack™, and Verizon HTC Touch Pro™, go here.

This seems to be for audiobooks only.

Changed (my fault, not Paul’s). Thanks, Alan. David
