I just read the article Apple earns cheers from analysts, podcasters in Playlist where August Trometer states, “[iTunes] 4.9 is welcome in that it will bring more attention to podcasting, which will, in the end, benefit us. People are going to want more features than iTunes provides, and iPodderX will fill that gap. We received over a dozen emails just yesterday from people who tried 4.9 but are sticking with the more robust features in iPodderX. Our sales, too, were up yesterday compared to the previous day. iPodderX is going strong.”

Robust features? Unless I am missing something, I would have to say that iTunes has better features. Also, with iTunes you can preview a podcast before deciding if you want to subcribe.

Of course their sales were up from the previous day. They went from 0 when not everyone heard about them to 2 the day it was announced. Wow.

What I like about iPodderX is that it incorporates a web browser. I can see what the podcast is all about without having to open Safari. In one step, which for me is a huge benefit.
