I am a big fan of podcasts, in fact I listen to them so much I occasionally go a week without listening to any music.
When I got my Nokia it was a revolution to be able to download podcasts directly to my device.
But Nokia's podcatcher has some issues:
It is difficult to set up - URLs must be put in manually, because the built-in search only finds podcasts that were around four years ago.
The most crippling problem however is that Nokia podcatcher occasionally just stops working. It simply dies and refuses to open again. The only solution is to hard reset the phone.
On Android you have choices, lots of choices.
After trying a few different podcatching apps (including listen and mypod) I have settled on a very good free app called MediaFly.
Mediafly is great because it allows you to:
Manage your podcasts online.
Stream/download podcasts.
Stream/download video podcasts.
So... mediafly literally does everything I want and more.
Mediafly does have issues though:
As with every podcasting application I've tried on Android, Mediafly occasionally fails to find updates I know (because I subscribe to the same RSS feed in Google Reader) are out. (This issue might be caused by Meteor, my carried blocking ports. But I definitely never had it on the 5800.)
