LOL I sense that you lot were trying very hard not to mention apple or iPhone :)
anyways galaxy s 3 is so disappointing. Its good but good is not enough if you want to beat the best.

The S3 is not enough to stop me buying a Note! Big let down from Samsung :(

Why has episode 286 not been added to the RSS feed? It didn't automatically download to my Android phone.

Podcast RSS is working now on my old Nokia 5230 Symbian phone. The hamsters must had had the bank holiday weekend off.

Sorry about the lack of feed action over the weekend. The latest episode should now be in the feed for everyone.

I was wondering about the podcast as well - had to manually download it !! Thanks for sorting it out :-)
OT: What app do people use to download podcasts on their phones/tablets ?? I use Google Listen/Google Reader. Seems to work fine on my devices.

Thanks for fixing.
I also use Google Listen. I think it's fine if you know the RSS feed but I don't think it's very good for helping you to discover new Podcasts. I have never used an iOS device so I always find it amusing when podcasts ask you to go and give them a good rating on iTunes so they can boost their profile. Perhaps Google could integrate podcasts into Google Play?
DoggCatcher is supposed to be the best podcast app but it costs over 3 quid and Listen seems sufficient for my needs.

I am deciding on a new phone, and since i've never owned a smartphone, the s3 looks pretty damn good. If it wasn't so big, it'd be perfect.... PLEASE GET U.S. VERSION SOON!!!
