A podcatcher app that can skip ads.
One way it could work would be have a server where users connect to and share ad tags; ie, if you download a podcast episode on to your phone, you can explicitly tag where the ads are, and that will get uploaded into a database. Then other users would download the same episode (from the original source), plus the additional ad timestamp tags (from our server) and the app automatically skips over the ads for them.
If we had enough users, we could estimate where the ads were based solely on skipping around in the app itself and wouldn't need anyone to specifically go in and tag where the ads were.
