I do sync podcasts, and I’ve noticed some problems with iTunes about that. I moved my ‘my documents’ directory tree to a different drive and iTunes can’t handle the drive change. It’s complaining that it can’t find the old podcast files. Same path, just a different drive letter. Not a big problem, but apparently beyond the ken of the programming geniuses at Apple.

Unfortunately, the iPhone may have hit the plateau where every change just makes it worse, so another smartphone is welcome.

The iPhone’s never quite reached the functionality offered by the Treo 650; the strongest suit of the iPhone has been its beautiful screen and very solid mapping application. So any new smartphone is good news.
