THOUGHT: iTunes and Podcasting
All of a sudden, podcasting became a phenomenal hit for both Mac and iPod users alike. Its not something new, but there's something iTunes users have to rejoice about - the coming of the new iTunes.
The new iTunes (4.9) has capabilities to support and manage podcasts. That's right - manage. One thing that Apple is good in doing - applications and features that simply works! The current iTunes makes managing podcasts as simple as subscribing, updating and syncing. No fuss, no worries. It makes the podcasting feature a welcome addition to the most popular music jukebox in the planet. I would dare say that this version of iTunes will get others in a not so good business.
What about putting podcasts into iPods? I mentioned previously that you cannot mix talkies with music. And that's what the genius people of Apple did, they separated podcasts from music (like what they did with audiobooks). Not only that, they added a bookmark feature for podcasts as well. You can all do this via a software update (that would enable podcasting feature over your iPod). Would I now say that podcasts fit perfectly with iPods? Partly, but I still believe podcasts belong to the Palm side of my gadgets. -.^
