To be honest, no. It would just disappoint me as a customer and make me switch to a much cheaper Android.
It was such a headache to find an app that could half-decently play a local podcast mp3 and remember the episode & playback when closed. And the apps I found that did that well were all loaded with the kind of tracking/data-logging that I am on iOS to avoid.
Makes me miss my Android devices that let me use them almost like a flash drive, without weird restrictions and USB 2.
