iPhone OS3.0 Podcast Update

I’ve just upgraded my iPod touch to the iPhone OS 3.0 software at the unfortunate cost of £6.
The main thing I’m waiting for is push notifications for applications – in particular for the Remember The Milk Application.
As a podcast listener, I have noticed a nice small update which seems to have been missed so far. When listening to a podcast, there are 3 new buttons available:
- an email this podcast – to send a link to the podcast
- a ‘Rewind 30 seconds’ button – incredibly useful if you missed the last bit due to an interruption
- A speed adjust button. I personally, wouldn’t make use of it, but I know a lot of people like listening to things at double speed (especially with audiobooks)
Now I just need to wait for the application updates…
