podcastBlackBerry Podcasts, a native app, grants Blackberries with official podcast support for browsing and downloading podcasts in audio or video, as well as subscribing. The app will work with virtually every new or semi-new Blackberry including the Bold, Curve, Pearl, Storm and Tour. The BlackBerry Torch will have the app come built-in.
