New Podcast Features in iPhone 3.0



This great update from MobileCrunch includes information on some new podcast-only features that will included in the latest iPhone operating system coming out in a few months, including:

• No repeat/shuffle buttons
• Mail podcast links
• Instant 30-second rewind
• Speed modifier so you can listen twice (or half) as fast.
• Variable speed scrubbing, which makes it easier to jump to exactly the right spot in a podcast.

My two complaints? No bookmarking, and no improved podcast descriptions. Otherwise, I'm excited about all of these, especially the speed modifier. I suspect these will probably make their way to the iPod touch, too.
