That was one of my favourite bits! I listen to music podcasts that are an hour long so it's handy to have it on a loop. I can’t believe they got rid of the repeat functionality.

But until I hear further I am assuming that Apple has still neglected show descriptions which is the most problematic piece of the iPhone podcast.

How in the world can they keep overlooking this!?!? The new FF and RR features sound like sorely needed moves in the right direction.

The touch and drag is too crude during long podcasts. The linear playback nib is hard to grab and drag in precise increments. There should be a virtual wheel like the classic iPod for scrolling within the podcast. What also is needed is better control of the playback position during podcasts.
