streaming podcasts on iPhone

I'm a big fan of podcasts especially on my iPhone, the convenience of being able to check for new shows and download them with out a computer makes the world of difference.  The only annoyance with the process is you can only download up to 10MB when connected to 3g or edge.  Very few shows are under this limit, one particular  10MB is MAC OS Ken, a short style MAC news show, it rocks.  So what to do for the larger shows, like Geek Brief, TWIT or BOL?  Assuming your area has decent data coverage (luckily mine does) you can stream anything video or audio with the native iphone software (no additional software needed).  So you just finished the last podcast and you want to check for more.  You hit the get more episodes and you get a list of the episodes available for download.  For those pod casts that are free if you click on the free button, the podcast will be placed on the download queue; but if you click on the name of the podcast the quick time window for iphone will open and it will begin to stream (size does not matter).  The same process can be started straight from the the itunes software on the iphone by searching; but I have noticed that some times the episode tracks differ, not really sure why.  So if you don't see the latest episode in one try the other method too.  Nice thing about this is the app will play on the background so you can go on and read emails or what ever else you want to do.

Enjoy streaming podcast everywhere.
