PAGE 288. Replace text with new version below, updated for current version of Apple?s Podcasts app:
Use the Podcasts App
In iOS 6, podcasts have a new home. No longer part of the iPad?s Music app, these free audio and video shows have moved on over to their own app?creatively named Podcasts. You can download it free in the App Store (Chapter 8).
Once you install the app, tap it open. Tap the My Podcasts button at the bottom of the screen to see your shows. If you don?t have any podcasts, tap the nearby Store or Top Charts buttons. Either will whisk you into Apple?s online podcast directory, where you can browse and sample shows, just as you can with music and videos?except with a podcast, you can stream the show over an Internet connection if you don?t feel like downloading it for offline listening.
Here?s what else you can do with podcasts:
? To download an episode of a certain podcast from Apple?s directory, tap the download arrow next to the show?s title.
? To subscribe to the podcast?to get alerted to new episodes as they become available?tap the Subscribe button on the podcast?s directory page.
? Once you subscribe, you can tell the iPad to snag new episodes for you. Tap open a show on your iPad, tap the Settings button on the podcast?s description page (shown below), and tap Auto-DownloadsOn. Tap the Edit button to delete old shows, or mark them as played or unplayed. On the same page, tap ^ to email, tweet, Facebook post, or message a link to the show.
? Tap the My Stations button at the bottom of the window to create ?stations? of selected podcasts that automatically update with new episodes. You can also create playlists made up of single episodes from various podcasts.
? When a podcast is playing, the familiar audio playback controls appear above and below the show?s art, along with buttons for sharing the podcast by mail or message, setting the Sleep Timer function (so you can drift off at night and have the iPad stop automatically), and adjusting the audio playback speed.
 Tip  If you?ve downloaded podcasts to your computer through iTunes and set them to sync with your iPad, they land in the Podcasts app, not the Music app.

Replace both paragraphs in the the bulleted "Pop Accounts" section with the text below to clarify how POP servers handle messages when checked by multiple computers and devices:

? POP Accounts. Short for "Post Office Protocol," these accounts use common, but older messaging technology that pre-dates the mobile boom.

POP's main drawback is that it wasn't designed for checking mail from more than one computer. Unless your ISP allows you to save mail on its server, POP servers transfer incoming messages to your computer (including your iPad) before you read them, which works fine as long as you use only that machine for email. You won't get those messages when you log in from another device because you already downloaded them. If your ISP's server lets you save messages, though, it's not a problem.

You can change Mail's font to squint less (go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility in iOS 6), choose a default mail account if you have several, turn quote level indents on or off, and change your Signature file--the standard text that gets attached to messages sent.
