Digg Rumor Mill

From a source who, unfortunately, wishes to remain anonymous, I have heard and unconfirmed rumor that Digg plans to release a new category in the near future. The theme of the category: Podcasts. As the source describes, with the recent popularity and success of the Video category it is likely that there will be the audio equivalent soon. He gave me no date range, but insured me it would be "sooner than [I] think".

Subsequent to the release of the categories, users have seen a dramatic increase in the number of videos and sports stories that make it to the front page. It won’t be long until there are podcasts on the front page.

Kevin Rose is currently speaking at the Building Blocks conference in San Jose and was unavalible for comment.

doesnt matter what apple releases - its still going to suck that you'll always pay full price AND no one else will be able to produce competitive hardware to run their OS and apps on.. Nice. And MICROSOFT is the monopoly? If that's true AND the rest of us agree, then Apple is the judge.
