apple got podcasting right

i am right now and i mean right now, watching the webcast of Steve Job's keynote speech at today's WWDC. yea the one where he announced apple would switch over to intel. i havnt gotten to that part yet but i saw this one this that is really so cool. there are a few choice pod casts that i listen, twit being the very best, and i have to say all the podcasting software out there is not that easy to use. everybody likes to say how great and easy ipodder and ipodderX are but i have them and tried using them and they really are not easy at all. they are tough to use and difficult to understand. you can force yourself through it but it really is not very intuitive. well i heard a few months ago that the next version of itunes (4.9 i think) will support podcasting. to be honest i really did not care at all. i just figured it would be some kind of streaming url entering little dialog box but after seeing steve use it for realizies i find i was totally wrong. well as wrong as i can be seeing as how i am infallible. their podcasting system seems so amazingly easy to use and intuitive. it will be sort of embedded into the itunes music store. there will be a section of the store or something with lists of thousands of podcasts that you can just click on and listen to and all it takes to subscribe is a push of a little button. there there is a menu in the playlists area that looks sorta like the internet radio part of itunes now. oh and the best part and my favorite part is that if it is a podcast with music or pics the album art in the corner will change when the song does or the topic or whatever. and even better than that is there can be chapters. you hit some button and a list of chapters and corresponding album art or pics comes up. now i am excited. it will be great until apple goes out of business for switching to intel.
