Apple Decides Not to Wait for iOS6 Launch to Release New Podcasts App

  • Apple has released a standalone app for podcasts ahead of its scheduled release of iOS 6.
  • The free app is called “Podcasts” and works on iOS devices running 5.1 or later, including both iPads and iPhones. It will sync with iTunes on a Mac or Windows PC, so long as they’re updated to iTunes 10.6.3.
  • “It expectedly offers a variety of ways to browse and discover podcasts among the thousands available (including a new Top Stations feature that groups select podcasts by category), as well as the ability to either stream episodes or download them for offline use,” details Engadget.
  • “The Podcasts application for iOS also includes the ability to share shows or specific episodes with other users via e-mail, Twitter or text message,” notes Apple Insider in a more detailed hands-on review. “Presumably with the launch of iOS 6 this fall, Facebook integration will also become part of the Podcasts application.”
