I was grumbling here on this miniblog in my post titled Sick and tired of the lack of Polish iTunes in February earlier this year. Finally things have moved a little bit. I still can't buy movies nor music via iTunes, but at least we now have got a full access to free podcasts (earlier it was only possible via use iTunesU, which is a series of podcasts, but rather educational ones).
Feel the difference
Anyway, no more loging out and in, switching between a Polish and a foreign, fake account. No more subscribing to podcasts manually by adding RSS. There is also no need now to connect with desktop/laptop version of iTunes. We can use the iTunes on iPhone, which previously had been just a useless application on my device.
A chance for the Polish podcast world
It is no secret that audio podcasts have never really launched in Poland. We had no platform of distribution appart from some platforms on the web. Can iTunes change the game? Maybe. Up until now the video podcasting was the only reasonable solution. If you had to consume the podcast on the computer anyway, than the video was the right thing to do (BTW You can now subscribe to Apple Blog Video Podcast by Paweł Nowak and Włodek Markowicz on iTunes). But audio is better when you are on the move. So we might see more Polish audio podcasts in the nearest future. You can already find podcasts by Polish Media like Radio Zet, Agora or RMF FM. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and feel very happy. Thanks to @rastru for the good news.
