"There is NOTHING better than Quicknews. It has Podcast support now, so it will AUTOMATICALLY download your podcasts from RSS feed and store it on your SD card. It will AUTOMATICALLY download and store the IMAGES from your RSS feeds. It works in conjunction with your media player, like Pocket Tunes, so you tell Quicknews to play your podcasts in Pocket Tunes and wahla!
You can set it to update at anytime, day or night - so have it update all your feeds in the middle of the night, download your podcasts and you're set!
You can even IMPORT AND EXPORT .opml files TO it and FROM it!
IT ROCKS!"
