These things are popping up everywhere, and I don't quite grasp the name. I know it comes from the iPod terminology, but a "Podcast" is no different than any other mp3 you would rip from a CD or download. Why should it be inherently related to an iPod when there is no relation?
Okay, my rant's over.

Go ahead, look the word up. I'll wait. I've got lots to keep me busy anyway: Grad school, writing, music, geomatics, programming, and a whole host of other things to occupy my...OOH look, a bird!

Unfortunately, Apple is a "victim" of it's own success.
They are prolifiting Ipod as if it's the best things since sliced bread.
Apple just packages other ideas already implemented (like HD mp3 player, or pay/download service for music) and makes them more marketable to the "hip" crowd. Nintendo kind of does the same thing, now that I think of it: people thought they "invented" the analog control stick; even their new Revolution controller uses sensors already used to some limited in extent in other controllers, but perhaps they'll use it better.
Apple is getting further annoying,because I can only watch trailers in .mov format mostly, and I can only download Apple's "quicktime" (which is crap to begin with) with "Itunes". I don't need their crap on my computer. Ah well :)
I don't mind iTunes, I've used it before and it's not a bad player, but you're right about them not really being innovative, they've just done the marketing really well.
