How do I view full Podcast & Song titles and the descriptions??

Hi,

I can't figure out how to view the full title of podcasts and other audio files on my iPhone. For example, some podcasts have long titles and I need to see the end (which shows the date and episode number) and I can't scroll to see it all.

Also, many podcasts have a summary written in the Description field and on my iPod 3G I can click to see it, but on my iPhone, I can't find a way to read it. How do I do this?

This was my number one fix wish for iPod 3. Apple is a company dedicated to details in my experience, and to understanding user paths - I really can't fathom how we're 3 years into a product and I can download 10 documentaries from the bbc and have them be indistinguishable except by date and order. There is simply no way to tell what they're about, because the title doesn't fit on the screen!

Word wrap, scrolling, please apple, anything!

i just got my iPhone 3GS and I'm in shock that descriptions are not available. This feature exists on my old iPod Classic and I used it every time I listened to podcasts. I listen to 4 hour long podcasts and need to know what songs are on the play list so I can see if they're worth listening to or to scrub through them to skip songs I'm not interested in.

neither of the things you are looking for are available. i often wonder why they don't scroll long names of things, like music, videos, podcasts, etc...

Yep, this is absolutely infuriating and mind-boggling. It's like the iPod feature is an afterthought on the iPhone.

Anyone know if there are improvements here in 3.0?
