An Open Letter to Apple: Podcasts in the iTunes Wi-Fi Store, Please!
This story now available on Digg. Please Digg after signing! Thanks!
Dear Apple, Inc.:
I love my new iPod Touch. I love that it has Wi-Fi and can do all sorts of neat things, and I even appreciate the ability to impulse buy music from the iTunes Wi-Fi Store. I have one request: please add podcasting support to the iTunes Wi-Fi Store, as you’ve done in the main iTunes Store. As you know, podcasts are a great way to extend the power and usefulness of an iPod, and a great way to upsell buyers to larger hard drives, particularly video podcasts.
I’d love to go into the iTunes Wi-Fi Store, use the same natural interface to search for podcasts on the topics I like, play them wirelessly right then and there like a radio, and subscribe to them with one touch, then sync back to my iTunes on my MacBook Pro when I get home.
Below you’ll find fellow podcasters and listeners in support of this petition. Please add robust podcast support to the iTunes Wi-Fi Store!
Best regards,
Christopher Penn
Producer, the Financial Aid Podcast
Co-Founder, PodCamp
To sign this petition, just leave a comment, ideally with either the podcast you produce or the podcasts you listen to! At the end of this I’ll be printing out the comments and Fedexing them to Cupertino.

I produce two podcasts and listen to dozens. A lot of my listeners use iTunes to subscribe. Adding podcast support to iTunes WiFi is a must. I wholeheartedly add my voice to ask Apple to do so.

I didn’t even realise that podcasts aren’t available in the iTunes WIFI Store — I haven’t got an iPod Touch; hanging out for the 2nd generation iPhone when it comes to Australia.
Podcast support on the iTunes WIFI Store would definitely make the iPod Touch more appetising!

November 3rd, 2007 | #
I completely agree. It seems an absolute no brainer. After packing the touch with a load of great features the lack of podcasts in the wireless store is a bit jarring. Come on apple!
November 3rd, 2007 | #
I was amazed when i found out that there was no podcast support!!
DO SOMETHING APPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I expected this to be in there, on friday when I buy my iPhone on O2 I expected that I would find it on there, I’m not so sure I want one now..

Yes, we want wifi podcasts support. would be great to get the up to date news podcast when you wake up so you can listen to it on my way the college
November 3rd, 2007 | #
Signed,
I listen to many podcasts(bol, twit, dsc, tech5, mtgcast.com…) on my iPhone, and whenever another podcast gets plugged, I realize what an opportunity they’re missing that I cannot get it just right then. When I’m back on my computer there are many chances that I have forgotten about it

November 3rd, 2007 | #
this is the very first thing that i looked for when i updated my i phone to rev. 1.1.1. Sadly, I did not find podcast support. There IS a revenue model for apple as more and more movie companies are podcasting production updates as a movie is prepared for release. Easily those companies would pay for the exposure that apple could provide them to call attention to these new releases, while also creating a line of communication between the production studios (content providers) and apple.

Hey Chris,
This HAS to happen. Like you say…this would make it as easy as radio….for iPod touch and iPhone users….but apple leads the industry…if they offered that support, other vendors would indeed be forced to follow suit.
I fully support this initiative.

You can stream podcasts on the iphone, you just have to do it within safari. Go to the rss feed of the podcast you want on safari and you can click on each episode you want. It works for both audio and video podcasts on the iphone, and make sure you use to regular rss feed NOT the one for itunes.

I have to believe that podcasting support for WiFi enabled iPods is on the Apple roadmap for development soon. Just the same, the sooner the better. Of course, if the platform were not presently closed we’d have this feature already I’m sure.
November 3rd, 2007 | #
Hey Apple,
I know that podcasts are mostly free and it would interfere with your economic models of what you think people do at Starbuck’s but, do it anyway.
Its a question of giving consistent user experience.

Wireless podcasts would be an ideal addition for a future update to the wi-fi itunes store. I would back that up.

Please add at least the possibility to download new espisode from already suscribed podcast.
November 3rd, 2007 | #
As the wifi store has brought more freedom to us iPod users on the go, adding podcast support is merely the next logical step. I completely support the development of wifi accessible podcasts on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
If there are technical limitations, please let the community know. Perhaps the large community of developers are willing to help you out.

Im more than happy to be on the petition. Podcasts on the itunes wifi store would be the top feature for me.

This is the thing that stops me from geting an ipod touch.
November 4th, 2007 | #
This is to be expected for Itunes!!!!!!!
November 5th, 2007 | #
I noted this issue in the recent edition of the Antipodean Podcast. It makes real sense to be able to download poddys from this source and the inability to do so is a real gap in the functionality of the iTouch. Please implement asap. thanks

Please please please add podcast support so I don;t have to sync my computer/iPhone every morning……Gary

I listen to/watch a number of podcasts, and would love to see them added to the iTunes Wi-Fi Store.
November 5th, 2007 | #
Yay, great idea! I consume these video/audio podcasts:
The Best of Youth Radio
Democracy Now!
IndieFeed: Alt/Modern Rock
NPR: Sunday Puzzle
TheBurg.tv
TreeHuggerTV
and many many others on an occasional basis!

Sehr gute Idee, kann ich nur unterstützen- würde mich auch freuen, wenn Texte zu Podcasts und Lyrics zu Songs eingeblendet werden können. Die ist mit meinen ipod noch nicht möglich.

This is the only reason I want an ipod touch and when I found out it didn’t do it, I was crushed. Pretty please!!
November 5th, 2007 | #
Very good, what is my iPod without all the Podcasts I’m regularly downloading. No Podcasts, no iPod touch!
November 5th, 2007 | #
This would increase the user experience drastically. Imagine being on a trip to, let’s say Russia. And you havn’t watched news from your country, let’s say Germany, in weeks. So you just go ahead and download the podcast and bang, there they are, news in your language, presented on the wonderful screen of your iPod touch/iPhone.
November 5th, 2007 | #
Why hasn’t this been included from the beginning?!
Please don’t let it stay this way.

I want to get WiFi-Podcasts, because I would miss them on a mobile device, like iPhone, Mr. Jobs!!

I produce http://highorbitpodcast.com and listen to many, many podcasts. I’m prbably not going to buy an iPhone until I know it can get podcasts on its own, regardless of whether I’m on tour or at home. I hope you’ll add this feature soon since it’s already part of iTunes and the iTMS.

After all the essence of the iPod culture is the podcast - without it - the player is crippled.

I recently switched over to Mac. I too own a touch. classic, and Nano Ipods. I would love to see wireless podcast support. I listen to numerous podcasts including all the TWIT networks shows, and Geek News Central, a bunch of mac podcasts, etc… Come on Apple les take a fine product all the way, and not wait a year like Microsoft.

Please add podcasting support! I currently have over 100 podcast files on my iPod Touch and have over 350 podcast files in my iTunes library! I have as much podcast audio on my iPod as music. And many of those podcasts expose me to music that leads me to buy music from the iTunes store! Podcast support for WiFi please.

Apple, supporting wifi listening to new media content will help your wifi enabled devices and the store itself remain competitive and relevant as phone-based distribution continues to gain in popularity.

Before I got my ipod touch, I thought the iTunes Wi-Fi Store would allow me to download my podcasts. I would finally have a peronsalized mobile online radio. In fact, that was the KEY reason that I bought the ipod touch! I subscribe to tonnes of podcasts, BBC, CBC, WireImage, BusinessWeek, etc… I hate to have to connect to my PC to sync them…
November 15th, 2007 | #
Such a simple addition. Ad it.
November 19th, 2007 | #
I think it’s a great idea - in fact it’s all that’s holding me back from purchasing an itouch to add to my many ipods and iphone - G5, G4 and MacBook. Here’s what’s weird - after changing from Mac to Windows and back to Mac - I threw in an amazing Dell M1710. But why did I do this? Obviously something is missing or was. I don’t know how easy you’ve made it in Leopard to add Windows to the MacBook, but before it was NOT a simple thing to do. Even after downloading Bootcamp and buying a copy of Vista - it all just sits on the shelf. I’ve since added Leopard to all of the Mac’s but haven’t looked into the change since I bought the Dell. Maybe I should look into it and then sell the Dell. Does anyone have any comments except the ones that call me stupid? Thanks.

PLEASE add podcasting support. I love my ipod touch and really wish it had this extra feature. I listen to BBC and other news podcasts.
December 8th, 2007 | #
Please add the podcast support. I listen to all of the twit.tv network. dl.tv and cranky geeks and many revision 3 productions. It would be great to not always have to be connected to the computer to get my favorite content. This would be really great for vacation time when I dont want to take my computer.

Love the touch. Love that apple was first/best in market for this kind star-trek-came-early device. Still, podcast on the wifi store makes perfect sense. Robust radio/podcast support online would give those Serius and XM people a reason to use only an iPod touch. Seriously, this thing is the coolest device I ever used. Podcast/radio would make it cooler and it’s all a software fix.
December 22nd, 2007 | #
A must-be feature! Definetly required!!
December 25th, 2007 | #
I feel like I’m driving a ferarri with only 2 gears and the handbrake welded on - its still way better than anything else on the road, but it could be SOOO much better by simply taking the chains off :-)
it’s running osx, it’s got full connectivity, let the leopard loose!

This is the ONE feature I’m waiting for before I buy the Ipod Touch. Apple just released the 32GB Touch (16GB wasn’t enough) it would be nice if they soon announce podcast support for the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store. Otherwise I’ll just get the Ipod classic 160GB for ~1/7 of the price per GB. My current Ipod is showing its age and its 60GBs is limiting. I would like to use the 60GB for music and the Touch 32GB for everything else.
February 6th, 2008 | #
Indeed this is one of the first feature i found missed to the touch i’d realy love to see that implemented
