Should this patent be allowed?

A really interesting article on blogs.zdnet this morning reveals a patent application by Apple for podcast navigation. To me it simply amounts to a simple hierarchical navigation structure, the underlying process for which has been around at least as long as IT applications have had menu structures. It appears all you need to do is put some content/context in (ie podcast, episodes etc) and you may have grounds for a patent. I really struggle to see how this should be a patent and am really concerned about the implications of it. Does this mean that if granted, you may be in breach of the patent if you have a similar navigation structure? I was really underwhelmed when I saw the parts of the patent that were published in the blog but really concerned about the implications of it. Some very interesting comments already showing up on zdnet's blog.
