Podcast listeners and viewers around the world, rejoice, for soon you may have a new way of managing your podcasts on your iPad, iPhone and iPod touch if reports are to be believed. According to new reports coming out of AllThingsD, Apple may be about to break Podcasts out of the iTunes app, giving the audio and video shows a whole new app to live in.

Oliver Haslam has written about technology for over a decade. His work has been published in print at Macworld and online pretty much everywhere else. If it plugs in or has a battery, it's fair game.
Yep, this is really happening. Sure is, yes sir. We couldn't make this stuff up. If you've ever wondered what would happen if Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates took to a stage and engaged in some sort of sing-off contest, then you're about to be made very, very happy. If that sing-off contest needs to be in the form of a rap battle, then you'll probably need to sit down for a minute to compose yourself before we go any further.
Desperately trying to stay relevant in an industry that is doing its best to leave them behind, Microsoft is set to hold an event on June 18th for what is being called a 'major new announcement' from the company.
He may be one of Apple's co-founders alongside Steve Jobs, but Steve Wozniak has never been shy of telling it like it is. He's been known to speak his mind on plenty of Apple's product lines, and not always showing them in the best light.
Not content with simply releasing a new version of iOS to beta testers, a new version of Mac OS X that is almost complete and a new line of MacBook Pros, Apple has today added another update to its roster. This time, it's the Apple Store iPhone app that sees the update magic applied.
The latest version of Google's Android operating system, Ice Cream Sandwich, has been on the receiving end of an award for its user experience, something that we would not have put any money on happening just a year or so ago.
A couple of days ago, I picked up an Android phone. The HTC One X to be exact. Really. If you've been a long time reader of Redmond Pie, or have followed any of my tweets and the like over the last few years, then you probably see me as something of an Apple fan. That's fine - I own an iPhone 4S. I owned an iPhone 4 before that, and an iPhone 3G before that. I owned an original iPhone, too. I like iPhones. A lot.
Today's big WWDC kick-off saw much publicity even before the curtain was raised. Anticipation was sky-high, and all the press in the land converged upon what was possibly the most exciting non-iOS hardware announcements for some time. We knew something big was coming, and we were right.
Having a cursory glance through my RSS reader today has led to even more confusion than usual. In the midst of more WWDC talk than I care to read, and more speculation about iOS 6 than any sane person can truly follow, I found one story that piqued my interest. The title suggested that Samsung, the Korean firm behind umpteen Android smartphones, is in talks to buy Nokia. The same Nokia that can't catch a break right now, and is apparently hemorrhaging money.
A new gaming device promises to make it possible to use PlayStation 3 controllers with Xbox 360 consoles, and vice versa. The great thing about having more than one gaming platform out there is the choice that it affords. If you prefer Microsoft's Xbox 360, then you can buy one. Like the Sony option of the PS3? Then that's the device you go for. Simple.
