gPodder 0.12.2 has just been uploaded to chinook and diablo extras. If it doesn't appear in diablo extras, please check the chinook repository. I just updated my N800 from the repository. Have got gPodder 0.12.2 on my tablet now.


About syncing the desktop version with the tablet version: You can easily set up an rsync job and some symlinks in your home directory on the tablet to get the desired effect of syncing the gPodder downloaded files and program state between the Maemo and Desktop versions. They use the exact same configuration and file layout (i.e. same codebase, only maemo-specific UI tweaks mostly)
