one of the reasons why i'm going off contract with a nexus 4(whenever it comes back in stock)

Check the Google Play website. I think it's supposed to be coming in stock at 12 PST today. So basically right now.

I'm paranoid about fucking up the warranty. Verizon is supposed to be pushing out the JB update in early December (although we'll see).
Yeah, I think I was out of warranty when the One X finally had the bootloader unlocked. I figured if I bricked it, I'd just buy an iPhone 5. I survived though and am really glad I did it.

Google Play is currently experiencing very high traffic. Nexus 4 is not sold out and will still be available for purchase. Please try again shortly. Thank you for your patience.

Yeah it didn't seem possible that they'd sell out that quickly. Even if they didn't limit the # of units per order, that'd still be impressive.

Do you mean making podcasts or listening to them? And are you looking for an app that will let you download them on your devices directly or use your computer and then transfer?

if you can connect it with a wire then you can drag and drop files between the two. but file names will most likely be fucked

What kind of iPod is it? When you drag and drop files onto an iPod, even if they are iPod compatible files, it won't play them. Its like putting them on a thumbdrive in your iPod.
