New major podcast player

If this appleinsider report is correct, odeo et al. will get some serious competition soon:

During his chat, Jobs demonstrated iTunes 4.9, a forthcoming version of Apple’s digital music jukebox software. Calling it the “Tivo for Radio for iPod, ” he said the new version would incorporate Podcast support - allowing users to download and subscribe to pre-recorded audio content. [...] Apple will also release a tool that will allow any Podcast creator to easily upload their content to the company’s music store.

Apple definitely isn’t a company i’d like to compete with in the digital music landscape.
