Podcast support will be available in iTunes 4.9

After a slap up meal at the Wall Street Journal's D Conference, Steveo entertained the assembled luminaries with a demo of the forthcoming version of iTunes, which, according to reports, will have support for managing and storing Podcasts:

"With the next version of iTunes, due within 60 days, there will now be an easy way for everyone to find and subscribe to" podcasts, the company said in a statement.

Steve Jobs, Apple's co-founder and chief executive demonstrated on Sunday evening how Apple's podcasting organization and downloading process would work at a Wall Street Journal technology conference, said Tim Bajarin, an analyst at market research firm Creative Strategy.

At the same meal, Jobs also fended of questions about forthcoming Apple products, did a song and dance routine and also made balloon animals. Ok, ok - only the first is true, but a good after dinner speaker should at least be able to make balloon animals as well as demo forthcoming software IMHO.
