iTunes and Safari bugs

Ok, been a while. Been using the iPhone for podcasts about as heavily
as I used to listen to my iPod Video. I regularly have about 4-6GB of
podcasts and it is pretty important to use iTunes effectively with
hundreds of entries to prioritise listening, archive the real keepers
and delete the heard casts. However, I have noticed recently that the
iPhone is not remembering that I have listened to a cast or marks it
as incomplete. While it is great now that you can rate podcasts with
the star system, not being able to rely on last played, which is my
method for identifying casts to delete, is really frustrating as it
has resulted in me getting far too many deja vu moments.

As for Safari, it keeps crashing. It would be great to have flash
support - amazing how many sites use it - and the simple ability to
remember where you were scrolled to when flicking between pages would
be lovely. Not to mention the option to open in new window I have
asked for before.

Unexpected iPod shortcut

Hey, double press the home button when the iphone is asleep. Guess
what? A mini iPod menu appears as well as the usual turn me on slider.
This allows you to pause/play the current track or podcast as well as
jump to next or previous. A similar mini menu appears when double
clicking home in certain apps, even when the settings option is set to
phone favourites (the default).
