Actually, the Desktop version of gPodder obviously stores these setting in the user's home directory. For the Maemo version, I thought it would be best to save the user settings on the internal SD card (don't know what mmc2 is on the N810), so the internal flash memory doesn't wear of from all the configuration and subscription changes (i.e. if your SD card would wear off, you could just simply swap your SD card, but in case of the internal memory, I believe your tablet would be screwed.

What I really plan to do is to make the memory card that is used selectable, i.e. mmc1 or mmc2. I believe that every tablet user has at least one memory card, and for purposes like gPodder (i.e. downloading big files from the Internet), the internal memory wouldn't be suited that well, anyway.
