Yeah, it really is a no-brainer. I carried around my BB and my iPod until I discovered your software, for exactly the same reasons as the guy who sent in the question. It sounds lazy, but when you listen to 30+ podcasts, you really don't want to have to delete episodes manually. OTA downloads, playlist auto-add, and all your sort functionality are huge perks, but it's really all about the auto-delete.
When I first heard the question, I thought for sure they'd just recommend an iPhone. For sure the iPOD with phone capabilities could handle PODcasts, right? Anyone know what the major limitations are? They said no auto-delete, but does it not handle smart playlists? I figured it would behave like my iPod with respect to podcasts. Download on the computer, unlistened episodes are put into a smart playlist, listen on iPhone, listened episodes are deleted on next sync.
The iPhone is a beautiful piece of hardware, but there are lots of reasons why I'd pick a BB over an iPhone (physical keyboard, background apps, no at&t 3G here, got boned by att/cingular a few years ago). I just figured that by default the media experience would be much better on the iPhone, since it was built from the ground up as a consumer device, and with all the experience of developing the iPod. I assume this is the case with music and video, just not podcasts?
