iPhone iPod Plus

A few days ago, our fellow Applesfera we commented that the first signs of Apple’s policy of not adding to the App Store applications that duplicate functionality offered regarding the integrated serial iPhone could be changing.

Yes, in this case were two browsers who received the nod from Apple, now has RSS Player, an application for downloading podcasts directly to the iPhone without having to synchronize with your Mac or PC. This was one of the most missed at least the first iPhone and while iTunes was added to a terminal in the latest firmware revisions, its operation is similar to the computer and this is where RSS can be Player interesting.

The major limitation of the download podcasts directly from the iPhone, through iTunes, we can not subscribe to the podcasts you want, we can only search among those already listed in iTunes, but surely you know of any programs or radio Web offers a podcast that is not on the agenda of Apple. RSS Player if you allow this option, as we see in the image above there is more to add the URL of the page to download a podcast.

RSS Player is actually a new version of the podcast, which at the time did not permit to enter the App Store, in this review has been removed from the directory so podcast audio files downloaded can not be used in other programs, and also has the limitation of not being able to operate in the background, unlike iTunes, it can not perform other tasks while listening to a file, although it stops automatically and can take it up again in that position.

The other hits from the application fee is that it costs 1.59 euros in initial promotion, then rise to $ 4.99 (have not announced the price to take into euros), in addition to its iTunes site and announced a version 1.1.1 to eliminate bugs detected.
