OK, Apple’s released iTunes 4.9, which now supports podcasts. And I’ve written up this (and the tweaks to the iPod line) over at The Register.

A few considerations, if you ask me:
1) if you’re featured on the iTunes Podcast Store, you’d better be ready to serve a lot of bandwidth;
2) what happens if Osama (or less extremists) decides to get into this podcast business - who’ll know what’s being said?
what about libel by someone in the US on someone in the UK?

Others are more positive. A few links mentioning iTunes and podcasts:

Know what still bugs me? You can’t index a podcast. People talk, and it’s not searchable. That’s frustrating on the Today program. At least it matters less with podcasts.
