Now i'm not an avid soap watcher, in actual fact the closest thing i have come to watching soaps is looking in the cupboard under the sink at our massive collection of Dazz & Bold, so respectfully you can assume that the majority of things i mention in this post is to support my own theories. ...

Well i had a little bit of response from my last post titled "What the iPhone doesn't got" so i thought i would make another post with more than just feature requirements, we have feature requests and a few bug fixes too. These are all things that i didn't think of before but after reading some threads it has jogged my memory, so here is round 2. ... Read More

What the iPhone Doesnt Got

So as i'm sure you are aware i take a very keen interest in the Apple iPhone and because of this very amusing fact i go to extensive lengths to find faults with the thing.

In this article i will discuss what the iPhone needs to at least bring it to a level where it can compete with the cheaper phones which have these features by default. I have even gone to an extra stage and made mockups of how the features may look on the iPhone and also gone into crazy-mode where i stress how easy these features are to create yet Apple ignores it. ...

Introduction
This is more of a tutorial rather than an article however it's very important to your Podcast's success and your success. iTunes will be around 60% of your visitors, this is speaking from personal experience, my podcast I was launched I used to get around 50 listeners, the same week that the new iTunes was released my listener stats went up by more than 200%. Then the following month when I checked I saw that my listeners almost always used iTunes. As you can tell its important that iTunes is housing your feed.

Brag Brag Brag
Also before I move on I will brag around a bit. Within 2 months of my podcast launching I was in the top 50 in the UK and Ireland iTunes chart, at 6 months I was in the top 10. In a matter of weeks I was at 3 rd place and only 1 place behind Mr Chris Moyles of Radio 1. I beat Chris Evans and Terry Wogan in the chart, this was before podcasts were as big as now, and now the iTunes chart is full of commercial podcasts by movie companies and radio stations which is disappointing for people who have good podcasts. ...
