Apple: Download Podcasts Straight to Your iPod

Apple today announced a new iPod called the Touch, which gives you Internet access through Wi-Fi. That means you can download podcasts straight to your iPod, without having to manually sync your iPod to your computer and if you can access a Wi-Fi connection. How fast you can download those podcasts depends on how fast that Internet connection is. But it’s a good step for people who like iPods. Expect a special version of the Podcast.com site for people who use this iPod Touch, and also for the iPhone (which at $399 are now $200 cheaper than they were when they first came out).
