What apps are available for subscribing to podcasts directly on the iPhone
I was glad to see that you can download podcasts directly from the i | Tunes app on the iPhone, rather than having to keep the iTunes app open to play them, but there's a 20 MB cap on downloads.
I'm looking for a way to subscribe to and automatically download new podcasts over 3G. Is there an app that can do this?
