Podcasts on the iPod Touch
I'm disappointed to see that the 1.1.3 update doesn't address the iPod Touch deficiencies with handling podcasts. I've got to believe one of two things:
1. Podcast listeners must be a very small minority of Apple customers to be ignored in the design of the touch and iphone.
2. I'm being a moron and overlooking something obvious.
Because #2 is quite probable, can anyone answer the following:
1. Is there any way to see an episode description of a podcast? This is possible on the iPod classic and earlier models. I assume its possible on the nano. Its beyond me how Apple can leave this off of the touch considering the big screen and the fact that descriptions take little storage space.
2. Is there a good way to fast forward and reverse in small increments? The fixed width slider bar is useless for this. This should have been obvious to their UI designers. How did the company that had so much success with the click wheel get this so wrong on the touch and iphone?!?
3. Is there a way to see the full title of a podcast? Titles are truncated at about 30 chars.
Thanks for answers and suggestions!
