Wireless iPad Syncing Is Awesome — Too Bad It Will Likely Be Rejected

I think what I love best about my Palm Pre is that I never have to plug it in to anything, ever. There's a great podcast app that I use twice a day on average, similar to the one Apple infamously rejected, that lets me download them over wifi via RSS, or stream them over EVDO if it pops up when I'm already out and about. Zumodrive's new app means I can stream my entire music library. The Touchstone means I don't even have to plug it in to charge.

I think Apple will figure this out and add it to the device themselves eventually. Cords suck.

I'm sure you're aware - but you don't need to plug the iPhone/Touch in to update Podcasts - those are available over the air.

iPhone's iTunes will refuse to download a longer podcast over the air; only works on wifi. On my Palm Pixi, I can download/steam anything I want over EVDO.

As far as I know, you can surely download podcasts over the air, but your subscription won't be updated the way they are through iTunes on desktop.

I just checked and couldn't find anything to update my subscriptions automatically from the phone.
