When I downloaded the new episode of the DrunkAndRetired podcast in iTunes I discovered that iTunes can also download non-mp3/AAC RSS enclosures like PDFs.
When you double-click on the small book graphic Preview will open the attached PDF.
Seems nice at first but I do not know what the security implications are (just remember the recent vulnerabilities in Adobe Acrobat). What if you can also attach executable files to RSS feeds and iTunes will open them for you?
The thing is that you do not know what kind of file is behind this symbol, what if Word files are also included?
I have to test this feature with some other enclosures and find out what kind of nice surprises are hidden here…
