iPhone 3.0 Beta 5: Email Podcast Links from iPod App

Looks like iPhone 3.0 Beta 5 doth giveth a little as well. That tiny email icon present in the top navigation bar of podcasts was decorative only until Beta 4, when it began to allow you to email the iTunes Store link for a friend for any podcast you'd downloaded over-the-air (at least for some it did). Now, with Beta 5, that tiny email icon is powered up and working for podcasts synced over via iTunes as well.

Earth shattering? No. But if you're enjoying a great episode of Phone different, GDGT, TWiT, YLNT, or whatever else floats your audio boat, and you want to give a friend easy access to equal entertainment, it's certainly a great convenience.

[Thanks anon for the tip!]

    As far as I know, this feature has been working/there since beta 4.

  2. Sam says:

    Dear TiPB.. Stop writing about features that are not new and saying that they are. Your most recent posts are full of EPIC FAIL.

    I don't know why I still love you <3

  3. AdMm says:

    that's been available and working since beta 1

  4. Muero says:

    I've had this feature work sometimes and not work sometimes. I think it's either available on some pocasts but not others, or it's just really buggy. But it's not new with beta 5.

  5. Michael G says:

    I have found with 3.0 Beta 5, is that the icons on the apps and games are black!! if you download anything new or sync an app the icon doesnt come over!!
