Lately I've been using itunes to subscribe and download podcasts and so now I'm looking for other portable devices to listen to these audio files on the go. Preferably the device would have a large storage capacity but a low price would be a strong consideration regarding the device. Not sure if non-apple products sync with itunes but my guess is these devices would cost considerably less than apple products.
You can search for a list of compatible devices for whatever version of iTunes you own. No telling what iPods and iPhones are still compatible.

As far as using iTunes with non-Apple devices, it is supposedly possible but a major PITA from what I've heard. I'm not sure why you would want to unless you are locked into the Apple iCloud system. iTunes has never been very robust are pleasant to use IMO. I only use it for backups of my iThingies. Did you try just using the Podcasts app on the device to download podcasts directly to your device? I rarely use it but that is how I get podcasts onto my iPhone or iPads.

Good luck, I hope you find a usable solution.
