This is troublesome as I am currently working on a app I hope to get on the store. I'm curious to see how much longer hackers put up with this before there is a total backlash from developers. It is certainly making me rethink about creating apps for their devices.T.v Serialshttp://www.meratvforum.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10915658.post-41813099175145126722011-05-07T03:27:59.845-04:002011-05-07T03:27:59.845-04:00All I can think is maybe they are planning to add ...All I can think is maybe they are planning to add podcast downloading ability to a future iPhone firmware update.web designinghttp://www.webindiasolutions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10915658.post-30249515148830272532010-12-15T16:41:29.101-05:002010-12-15T16:41:29.101-05:00@John M, this is no more dream,which I think techn...@John M, this is no more dream,which I think technology is chaging to fast now.Magento Themeshttp://free-magentoextensions.com/magento-themes.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10915658.post-69695123448913189952010-09-30T06:47:47.935-04:002010-09-30T06:47:47.935-04:00Nice post dude, keep it up.Nice post dude, keep it up.Price Indiahttp://www.pricecomparrison.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10915658.post-71943067720682178022009-04-30T00:43:00.000-04:002009-04-30T00:43:00.000-04:00hi! i like ur templates. this was very nice.....

I downloaded your app from Cydia this morning and wondered about a few features before I purchase.<BR/><BR/>First (and most importantly), when playing downloaded podcasts, it doesn't seem to play the next podcast once the previous one finishes. Can this be functionality be added? A few of my podcasts cut out commercials and are delivered in 10 or more parts. This means I'd have to fumble with my iphone while driving just to play through them all.<BR/><BR/>I had another question about downloading podcasts which is also an issue caused by many segments. Can you add a way to "check" all of the podcasts to download from the unplayed screen. It takes some time to select > download > back > figure which one you just did > repeat. It would be ideal if there was an option to download all new as well.<BR/><BR/>Thank for the consideration!<BR/><BR/>-TomUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873806966833484059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10915658.post-47157338632747779702008-09-29T11:26:00.000-04:002008-09-29T11:26:00.000-04:00You commenters who mention this "bandwidth issue" ...You commenters who mention this "bandwidth issue" of the Podcaster app seem to forget one important thing: Apple is NOT the provider of your wireless service!! Your phone company is, and I'm sure they already have all sorts of boilerplate wording stating that the end-user is responsible for paying for any excess bandwidth usage (regardless of the application, and likely even referring to the OTA application download itself!)<BR/><BR/>So, this "uber-bandwidth" argument is irrelevant. That responsibility falls between the phone's owner and the phone's wireless provider. <BR/><BR/>Apple doesn't give a rat's posterior about how much data usage the subscriber uses! Why would they, other than protecting them from misplaced lawsuits by irate consumers with high data usage charges! It's up to the WIRELESS CARRIER to worry about network congestion, NOT APPLE.<BR/><BR/>Please, folks, think about these things before you post with an all-knowing attitude... "It's utterly obvious that your app wasn't approved because of the excessive bandwidth and storage requirements of downloading tons of podcasts." <BR/><BR/>...Why would Apple care? Again I must point out that they're not in the wireless provider business!weasel5i2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01632129811122782783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10915658.post-48227953242131335642008-09-25T21:27:00.000-04:002008-09-25T21:27:00.000-04:00I bought this app and love it (still a few blips w...<B>I bought this app and love it</B> (still a few blips with certain video files not able to be played, but overall it's great). This is one of the apps I use daily. Sure, I could use the podcasts through iTunes, but then I have to sync, and honestly, I just don't need to do that daily.<BR/><BR/><B>Please port this app to Cydia</B>, and just allow people to give you donations. Or, you could make it functional with a serial number (I've seen other Cydia apps do that).<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing with some of the changes coming up for Apple TV and such, that this is the exact thing that will soon be part of iTunes on the iPhone, and thus why it was denied. It's sad that Apple goes this way, and I understand it from a business model, but there has to be a balance between making money and customer service. I love Apple, <B>but their customer service is going down the tube!</B> They need to spend more time making sure they develop and release a good product (the iPhone is good, but the problems it has experienced have very much proven that Apple is now rushing out product, and they could do better).Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00517992133551507202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10915658.post-49885062252389843852008-09-25T00:49:00.000-04:002008-09-25T00:49:00.000-04:00Well Mr. Alex...time to move on to Android.

The truth is Apple is more than the iPhone and iTouch. They are a business and that business includes iTunes. Duplicating a calculator doesn't cost them money. Asking them to sell your product in their online business to compete against a part of their business that earns them money is stupid. I doubt that if you make the application and post it somewhere else they would complain - just don't ask them to make it easy for you to compete with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10915658.post-35856597227714742442008-09-21T06:40:00.000-04:002008-09-21T06:40:00.000-04:00This is completely lame.

Eagerly, I updated the iPod software to the latest version and also downloaded the new version of iTunes - alert for which kept popping up.<BR/><BR/>And behold! Just because I am in India, the Indian iTunes Store does not have the podcast directory access, which is weird because I could subscribe and add podcasts to my iTunes app earlier. So, one of the major reasons for getting the new iPod is a big disappointment. I guess an application like Podcaster will be a big help in such cases.<BR/><BR/>For once, Apple did go in the opposite direction in terms of fulfilling customer expectations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10915658.post-89405949069027339742008-09-17T12:26:00.000-04:002008-09-17T12:26:00.000-04:00You can watch an installation video at http://code...You can watch an installation video at http://code.google.com/p/nativepodcaster/wiki/InstallingNativePodcastAdHocEditAlmericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06819481120583725262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10915658.post-42171595163773852202008-09-17T10:49:00.000-04:002008-09-17T10:49:00.000-04:00I've purchased, am using POodcaster and I LOVE it....I've purchased, am using POodcaster and I LOVE it.

We pay for the traffic and whether we consume the bandwidth by downloading an podcast or by surfing the web or by sending images to friends or by using IM on the phone or any other way, that must be up to the user to decide. <BR/><BR/>other phones have podcast-functionality so why should the iPhone not have it?<BR/><BR/>To me it also would be an excellent addition to my iPod Touch as i often find myself not having time to sync up the latest podscasts that I (for free) subscribe too. Being able to hook uip to a open Wifi-spot and get the latest podcast would be great.<BR/><BR/>2/ Just becasue Apple can do something does not meen we have to just accept it. True, you can always just dump the phone/iPod but how can things get better if we do not complain?<BR/><BR/>But hey, its Apple. They can do whatever they want and their userbase still will see them as the second coming of Messiah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
