The BlackBerry Podcast App is basically available for all devices, but here is a list of devices and system requirements to ensure that you have no problems using this app.

Ensure that your BlackBerry smartphone is one of the following: BlackBerry Bold, BlackBerry Storm, BlackBerry Pearl, BlackBerry Curve, or BlackBerry Tour Smartphone. For the Blackberry Curve, Pearl and Tour users, you will need to ensure that a MicroSD card is installed in the phone before you can utilize the app. However, the Blackberry smartphones that are running BlackBerry 6 OS will have the BlackBerry Podcast App already included on the phone. You will of course need to have a BlackBerry Data Plan that includes internet browsing options.

If you have a podcast that you would like to be included in the BlackBerry Podcast App, then you can submit your Podcast to BlackBerry to be considered. The app supports all carriers and pretty much all devices, but is only available in two countries currently; these countries are the United States and Canada.
