Hi to all, I don't have scientific data about how people in general are using newsreaders and podcatchers in comparison, but from my personal behaviour and from what I'v seen on other persons computers, I tend to believe that uses are so radically different that two separate apps are better. Yes, the two have a lot of (technical) stuff in common but from a users point of view, they are different use cases. Don't you think?
