Happy to see this, but I still think that it's not ideal. Streaming > downloading for podcasts

So we’ll be able to download new podcasts direct to the phone but we won’t know the new episodes are there because push notification isn’t working. Oh the irony!

More seriously, I think podcasts direct to the device is a great idea (even though not a new one).

Looks good and I can't wait to get my Podcasts directly versus sideloaded. Will be a huge benefit for podcasters.

With that said, I think that TV & Movies will come around the corner but due to the large file sizes measured in GB and a hungry AT&T looking for revenue opportunities I'd be willing to wager that when they arrive they'll be like the Music Store - WiFi only.

I’m all set up for the extra power demands with my new ipow external battery/case

Mobileme push smashes my battery. Having it for various other apps – I don’t see how Apple can do it, and keep the user experience good.
