If you follow certain video or audio podcasts regularly, you can use Apple's Podcasts app to do so. For podcasts you listen to or watch on a regular basis, it's typically better to just subscribe to them. If there's ever a time when you want to download a single podcast episode without subscribing, you have the option to easily do so.

Apple Store iPhone app updated, claims to let you email gift cards [UPDATED]

By Leanna Lofte, Wednesday, Nov 7, 2012 a 10:36 pm

The Apple Store app for iPhone has been updated and supposedly allows users to buy gift cards and have them emailed to the recipients.

Apple Store gift cards, however, would be awesome with Passbook -- too bad they are nowhere to be found.
