Podcast download coming to iPhone firmware 2.2?

German blog Schimanke.com publishes screenshots that point out a new feature that may be coming to the upcoming 2.2 iPhone firmware. I really hope that these screenshots are truthful because having podcasts downloading directly to your iPhone would be incredible! I mostly listen to podcasts on my iPhone and iPod Touch because of the convenience. The screenshot (below) seems to be legitimate.

iPhone 2.0.2, my experience with it

Apple has released a while ago the iPhone 3G, and with it came the 2.0 firmware also available for older iPhones. I upgraded my iPhone and jail broke it with PwnageTool. First thing I did (as everyone else) was rush and download all the apps I could cram into my phone that were available in the App Store. Then, the bad news caught up with the excitement, the 2.0 firmware was crashing like crazy. Every time I would open an app, the app wouldn’t want to load up or the whole phone would re-boot, all by itself. So, I thought that a restore would bring the phone back up and running in good shape as it always was before this buggy update. The phone would behave for a couple days than came back to the crashes and buggy behavior. This really frustrated me because I have grown to know that the iphone firmware updates were always success after success and would always bring new features and more stability that have a suitcase jam-packed with bugs and crashes and frustration. Then came the 2.0.2 update, which really relived my iPhone experience. It brought back the stability of the other iPhone firmware updates, with all the applications the App Store delivered with it. Of course, there are still some bugs here and there, but overall the experience has gotten much better and the OS much more stable and usable. That is what apple is all about!
