Someone is always going to bitch about apple. period. Hypothetical example: What if apple is already working on a better podcasting app that works on the iphone, yet they _don't_ r…

I'm still not sold on ido... I'm trying it out again, but thus far there are enough annoyances that I don't think I can activate it full-time. I may, however, use their completing …
