While I am still sulking that the new emoji (emoticons) feature in iPhone is only available in Japan, I am happy with the direct podcast download feature. Earlier you had to download the podcasts onto your computer then sync with the iPhone to get the audio in. That meant you were always dependent on your computer.
Now you can just go online on your phone and select the podcast you want.
Further select the episode you want
And download it.
You can delete the episode when you are done listening to it.
Nice Apple, Good Apple, now can we please have emoji too.. hayaku ne.
