Maybe this explains why podcasts hasn't been working right for the past little bit? In any case, if you're signed up for the BlackBerry Beta Zone go grab it and start sending some feedback.

Wow, RIM is updating their native apps one after another. Good move.

They had it working fine while it was in Beta the last time. Then it was released, and it went to heck. Even specialized versions for different devices couldn't fix the problems I had. So I spent the 10 bucks for Podtrapper a few weeks ago. Nearly flawless since then. I'll give the beta a look, but it will have to blow me away to be the primary Podcast app, that's for sure.

Now if they could just get a fully functional podcast player for the Playbook I'd be happy. I need to be able to login with a UID and PW for the one podcast I listen to. Podtrapper on my handset works, but I want to use the Playbook's speakers. Too much to ask, I know. Grrrr!

Does this version work outside north America? I find it stupid to have that limitation on a podcasting app.

Still doesn't support podcasts that require logging in to download. Bah!

Man this app is still too ghettofab 4me. You can only listen to podcasts using a setero bluetooth or a wire whereas tunein or stitches can force it into a mono earpeace which is...awesome? Sure is missy. Plus you get a ton of past shows in tunein radio for pretty much any show aaaaaand they go back several years including craberries 1st podcast with a tame Kevslovski Michaluk and Craigers. Plus stitcher bufferes everything at a fraction of the kb/ps of this app sooooo I don't know...still crappay if u axe me lol.

I've got it working and I'm in the UK! I haven't had a chance to give it a full in depth play, but I have managed to subscribe and download a UK podcast.
