Why No Facebook Support in Ping?
Sep 02, 2010 - 12:13 PM - by Paul Acciavatti

Many Apple users worldwide have spent some time scratching their heads over the new iTunes feature called Ping. Apple's so-called "social network for music" is supposed to let users follow artists and bands, as well as find out what their friends are listening to. However, there's no way to connect with friends, other than spamming them with email, because despite the fact that Facebook interconnectivity is still - up to this moment - advertised on Apple's site, Ping still doesn't have it. Steve Jobs blames Facebook, claiming they wanted too much.

In an interview by Kara Swisher at All Things D, Jobs says Apple was in talks with Facebook over Ping, but the two companies were unable to come to an agreement. He was quoted as saying Facebook wanted "onerous terms that we could not agree to." When... [Read More]

While there is certainly no shortage of excited Apple fans and digital media consumers about the refreshed Apple TV rolled out yesterday by Steve Jobs at his company's annual September event, the reaction today among Wall Street analysts is anything but exuberant. In fact, most appear to view the forthcoming Apple TV revision as anything but a "game changer" for living room entertainment.

In addition to introducing a new fleet of refurbished iPods (many of which will now sport long-awaited features), Apple also spotlighted iOS 4.1 and ... [Read More]

iTunes 10 Now Available For Download : Jailbreak Safe
Sep 01, 2010 - 8:59 PM - by nickhesson
Click the image to open in full size.

Apple has released iTunes 10 as promised, and is now available for download to the public for Mac and Windows.

iTunes 10 includes Ping, a brand new "social music discovery tool" creates a new experience for iTunes where users can follow their friends and share their favorite music.

It appears that iTunes 10 is Jailbreak safe for now, that is to say that a new Jailbreak tool might not work with iTunes 10, but seeing as there are none out right now that require iTunes, your JailbreakMe.com exploit should be just fine. Musclenerd also informed us that we should be safe as far as DFU Mode, syncing, and custom IPSW's go, just stay away from iOS 4.1 next week.

iOS 4.1 GM Now Available to Developers
Sep 01, 2010 - 3:26 PM - by nickhesson
Click the image to open in full size.

iOS 4.1 GM has been released to official Apple Developers, and to our delight it includes the mentioned HDR support for Photos.

Aside from all the bug fixes, this is an addition we are looking forward to. As Michael reported, Apple is adding the new HDR (high dynamic range) standard to photos, an addition that apparently takes "photo quality to a whole new level". All of which is included in the newly released GM.

If your a registered Developer and don't have to worry about jailbreaking, head on over to your Dev Center and Download iOS 4.1 GM today.

If your not a Developer, don't be messing around with this.

Apple today announced that it would finally bring the iPad up to date with the iPhone 4. iOS 4.2 is due for release this November and with it comes features that iPad owners have been patiently waiting for since the introduction of iPhone 4.

This update includes new features such as the ability to print directly from your iPad. Now when you create something in iWork, you will be able to print it out. Using the “Print Center” icon, located in the multitasking bar, you will be able to access these new printing features.

Multitasking is a welcome improvement for the iPad that we will all see in November. Expect the same seamless integration between apps on your iPad that you now have on your iPhone 4. Creating folders, a feature I could not live without, will now be standard issue for the iPad as well.

Air Play is a new feature that was an unexpected surprise. With it you will be able to stream audio, video, and pictures over Wi-Fi to your Apple... [Read More]

Apple Unveils New 80% Smaller Apple TV for just $99
Sep 01, 2010 - 1:00 PM - by Brian Fox
Click the image to open in full size.

As rumored, Apple today unveiled the latest Apple TV at a breakthrough new price of just $99. The new device is designed to radically simplify the digital media experience by removing the internal hard-drive and moving entirely to streaming content from Apple or your computer. The change in format has also allowed Apple to make the device 80% smaller; with a new form factor of 3.9” x 3.9” by .9” thick. As with all of Apple’s latest mobile offerings, the Apple TV has moved to the A4 processor found in the iPad and iPhone 4 (and just released iPod Touch). As rumored the new device also includes live streaming from Netflix, Youtube, MobileMe and Flickr, through native apps.

One expected new feature is the ability to use an iPhone or iPod touch as a remote control, using Apple’s free Remote app. Apple has pre-announced one new feature for the iOS 4.2 update that will allow the iPad to stream video content directly to a network connected Apple TV. This... [Read More]

iTunes 10, Ping Social Music Network Go Live
Sep 01, 2010 - 12:53 PM - by Michael Essany
Click the image to open in full size.

*** Warning from Nick - "Jailbreakers should be cautious when considering to update to iTunes 10. There is no official word yet on any adverse affects it might have on your jailbroken devices. Awaiting word from the Dev Team is the best advice for now" ***

Amidst a whirlwind of announcements, new products, and services, Steve Jobs also rolled out the latest iTunes - new logo and all.

The latest iTunes - iTunes 10 - is expected to become available today and includes Ping, which is a "social music discovery tool" that takes the iTunes user experience to a new, and needless to say, more "social" level than ever before. In a nutshell, users can follow and keep close tabs on the friends and artists of their choice. The goal, of course, is to enable music lovers and artists to share and discover music together.

"It's sort of like Facebook and Twitter meet iTunes," said Jobs about the social network integrated into iTunes.... [Read More]

A4, Retina Display on New iPod touch
Sep 01, 2010 - 12:08 PM - by Paul Acciavatti
Click the image to open in full size.

Steve Jobs unveiled the new iPod touch on stage at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts today. The fourth-generation touch - which Jobs called an iPhone without the phone (and the contract) - boasts many of the same features of the fourth-generation iPhone: a Retina Display, front facing camera, rear camera with HD capability, 3-axis gyroscope, and A4 processor. The new device, however is even slimmer than the current model.

The front facing camera on the touch will allow users to do FaceTime with other iPod touch and iPhone 4 users. With the rear-facing HD camera users can take video and edit it on the device, using iMovie which has until now only available for the iPhone 4. The fourth-generation iPod touch will also ship with iOS 4.1, including Game Center, Apple's social gaming platform.

The specs of the Retina Display match those of the iPhone 4, which is an IPS LCD. Steve Jobs's slide called it an "LED" display, however, which was either a typo or a sign... [Read More]

Jobs Wows with New iPod Nano
Sep 01, 2010 - 11:59 AM - by Michael Essany
Click the image to open in full size.


Shortly after unveiling the new iPod Shuffle, Steve Jobs moved on to the iPod Nano, which now appears to be a relatively minuscule square device sans the familiar click wheel. Confirming what the rumor mill suggested, the new iPod Nano is now multitouch. It does, however, have hard volume buttons, voiceover, FM radio, podcasts, and the ability to view photos, and Nike+.

Impressive in its compact size, the new Nano is 46 percent smaller and 42 percent lighter than its predecessor. "It's so small, we're able to put a clip on it too, so it's instantly wearable," Jobs said.

Like a Shuffle with a nifty new screen, the refreshed Nano serves up a 24 hour battery life, Jobs noted. It will sell for $149 for 8GB and $179 for 16GB.

It works in 29 languages and will be available in in six colors.

Analogous to other iOS devices, Nano users can arrange/move icons and drag/drop them to the pages of your choosing. The refreshed Nano, as demonstrated by... [Read More]

Steve Jobs Unveils All New iPod Line Up
Sep 01, 2010 - 11:37 AM - by Michael Essany
Click the image to open in full size.

Calling it the entree of the event, Steve Jobs had quite an announcement for iPod lovers.

Apple has sold 275 million iPods to date, Jobs noted, adding that Apple has never rested on its laurels. This year Apple is rolling out new designs for every iPod model. It's the "Biggest change in the iPod lineup ever."

First up in rolling out the strongest line up of iPods ever released is the Shuffle. The new one has buttons (Jobs indicated that people missed the buttons), voice over, playlists, and serves up 15 hours of battery life. It's even smaller than the second generation iPod Shuffle.

Essentially, the new VoiceOver button located on top of iPod shuffle will enable users to hear the name of the song that is currently playing, allowing for convenient, easy switching between, songs, playlists or Genius Mixes.

"We're making the iPod shuffle even better by combining clickable buttons and VoiceOver technology, so users can find and... [Read More]
