Hi, I just got an Android phone last week and wanted something similar, i.e. an app that will automatically check for new feeds of a podcast and download them for me. The app I'm trying right now is BeyondPod and it does a nice job. However it's a 7-day trial app and i'm not sure which features it's going to disable after the 7 days are up. To add podcasts, I simply used it's built-in interface to search for them and add them to my subscriptions list. It also remembers where I left off which is something I always missed whenever I tried any non-iPod based player, they didn't seem to think this small feature was important. I like this app enough now that I don't carry my iPod Touch anymore, I don't need it. I managed to find replacements for the few apps I regularly used on the iPod Touch on the Android Market. Hope this helps, Khusro On 20 Apr 2010, at 15:28, ken wrote: > On 04/19/2010 09:00 PM Les Mikesell wrote: >> Craig White wrote: >>> In reality, what you are asking for seems superfluous... you just keep a >>> bookmark of some podcast url and when you go there, it starts playing >>> the stream, you never have to actually store the podcast (and then have >>> to manage transfer from computer to device, delete old, etc.) and thus >>> the Apple methodology seems to be rather convoluted (and analog) by >>> comparison... but hey, that's just my opinion. >>> >> >> That's not really the same.
