iTunes 4.9 focuses on Podcasting

We here at TUAW are of two minds about Podcasting, but  it seems that Steve Jobs isn't. Engadget is reporting that Jobs demoed iTunes 4.9 at the D Conference last night, and the biggest new feature (the only new feature perhaps?) Support for podcasts.

Not only will you be able to subscribe to whatever podcast you would like using iTunes, but producers will be able to submit their podcasts for inclusion in the iTunes Music Store so that people can find them (though I imagine there will be some sort of vetting process for which podcasts are included).

O'Reilly Radar says that we will be able to get our grubby little hands on this 4.9 update within 60 days or so.
