Steve Jobs announced at Wall Street Journal’s D Conference that iTunes 4.9 will support podcasts. When this will be released is another matter, hopefully sooner rather than later. I would really like this if they pull it off and it would make it even easyer, having to use to RAM gobbling applications to download and listen to my podcasts is annoying. I currently use iPodder v2.0.3 to download my podcasts and iTunes 4.8 to listen to them and sync with my iPod. It would be great just using one app to download and sync to my iPod. They are also saying that they may start selling podcasts in the iTunes music store, I hope they dont start charging for my favorite podcasts, I cant afford it!
