PodTrapper is a download manager and player for podcasts as you all know. It’s been out for a few months now, and we’re finally giving it a more indepth review as deserved. PodTrapper provides a fully self contained podcast aggregator and player which allows you to subscribe to podcasts right on the BlackBerry, and download new episodes without needing to connect the BlackBerry to a computer. once subscribed to your podcasts it should be automatically downloading new episodes in the background.

This is a really good application for people who are always on the run, you can listen to your favorite radio shows, catch up on some gadget news and even watch video podcasts. All from you BlackBerry. Once PodTrapper is installed, you need to subscribe to podcasts, you are able to Browse/Search, for a podcast by clicking a link, or alternatively you can enter the feed url manually. One thing I really liked was the choice you are given to download the podcasts. You can choose cellular, wifi and desktop.

Features:

Automatic downloading of new episodes via Wifi
Automatic downloading of new episodes via Cell network (On most carriers)
Downloads via desktop application for those without Wifi or with difficult carriers
Keeps track of last played podcast
Remembers where you left off in every episode
Automatic playlist sorting and management
Automatic deletion after listening
Built in podcast browser
Reliable pause and resume of downloads when connectivity changes
Built in keylock to allow for control of audio in your pocket

I really recommend PodTrapper, it is a great application well worth the $9.99
