iTunes 10 No Longer Lets You Create Your Own Ringtones Post from: FSMdotCOM Just a quick heads-up: iTunes 10 no longer lets us create ringtones. The feature was introduced in 2007 when Apple released the original iPhone, and initially we could buy a song for 99 cents and cut and convert it into a ringtone. With iTunes 10, Apple no longer offers this feature, probably because now, Apple, is selling ringtones too. [ via MacLife]

HOW TO: Enable Ping On Your iPhone And iPod Touch Post from: FSMdotCOM You all know by now that, yesterday, Apple launched a new social network based around music called Ping. Ping comes with iTunes 10 and there are a couple of issues with the network, but one thing that nobody knew ( or most of the people got it wrong – us included ) is that, Ping won’t come to the iPhone as a separate app. To get Ping on your iPhone/iTouch just enable Ping on your computer ( in iTunes 10 ) , and sync your iPhone/iTouch. Now load iTunes on your iPhone/iTouch and there you go… Personally, I’m not sold on Ping, but I have an account. If you want to add me, search for ‘murda FSM’. Hopefully, i will grow into it, and I’ll provide you with some good sounds and vibes….

Skyfire: Browser That Can Play Flash Video Was Submitted To The App Store Post from: FSMdotCOM Skyfire has submitted a mobile browser to Apple’s App Store capable of playing Flash video while adhering to all Apple’s guidelines regarding HTML5 open-video standards on Apple devices, according to a press release published today. Skyfire 2.0 for iPhone follows on the heels of Skyfire’s recent launch on Android, which has now become one of the most popular third-party browsers on Google’s mobile platform, with nearly a million downloads in its first three months. What’s in Skyfire 2.0 for iPhone: Flash Video –The “Video” icon enables users to play millions of Flash videos around the web that otherwise do not play on mobile. This unlocks content trapped behind those error messages with question marks and blue Legos by transcoding the Flash content into HTML5 on Skyfire’s servers. Related Content – The “Explore” icon brings the most relevant content on the Internet to a user’s fingertips based on what they are viewing at the time. The Explore button pulls video, buzz, news, images and other sites from the wbased on what is on the current page. Adherence to Apple’s Standards: Skyfire for iPhone was built in tight accordance to Apple guidelines, including the use of a WebKit browser core shared with Safari, and h.264 adaptive streaming. Skyfire’s famed cloud-computing technology translates Flash video on the fly from millions of web sites into HTML5 formats, and supports iOS devices via Apple’s HTTP live streaming standard. Skyfire also avoids the concerns raised in Steve Jobs’ recent essay regarding Flash on mobile devices. By optimizing Flash for iPhones and network conditions in the Cloud, Skyfire improves performance and maximizes battery life while playing video. The browser also avoids alternate runtime environments and other security vulnerabilities. “We’re excited to submit a mobile browser for iPhone and iPod Touch that addresses Apple’s concerns regarding Flash deployment on mobile devices,” explains Jeff Glueck, CEO of Skyfire. “Rather than enabling Flash, Skyfire will translate videos into Apple standards. Skyfire supports HTML5 but at the same time, we recognize that the transition to HTML5 for 100 million Flash publishers will take years. We hope to bridge that gap and solve a problem for consumers who want access to millions of previously-unavailable videos on their iPhones.” An Advantage for AT&T: Not only does Skyfire enable Flash video while adhering to Apple’s guidelines, it offers a major enhancement to video data compression for AT&T. Skyfire compresses video data by an average of 75%, reducing buffer time, enhancing battery life and easing the network congestion that has caused user complaints in major metropolitan areas. It will be interesting to see how Apple responds to this submission. [ via iClarified]

September 1st Apple Event Round-Up: Some Really Good, Some Pretty Good, Some Really Ugly Post from: FSMdotCOM So… new autumn, new Apple event. Some really good, some bad, some really ugly. But we will focus only on iOS, iPhone/iPod/iPad, because that’s what we do here on FSMdotCOM . So let’s get into it…. iOS 4.1 iOS 4.1 will be available as a free download for iPhone and iPod Touch next week ( not for all models though ) and it brings a fix for proximity sensor issues, HDR photos, and long-awaited Game Center support. Personally, HDR photos is something I’m most excited about. Word of advice: DO NOT update to 4.1 as soon as iTunes prompts you for an update. Wait for a 4.1 jailbreak… iOS 4.2 Yes… iOS 4.2 which brings everything we have on our iPhones, on the iPad. Also, with iOS 4.2 we will be able to stream music, video and pictures from iTunes to iOS devices with AirPlay ( ex AirTunes ). If that’s not enough ( and of course it’s not enough ) , iOS 4.2 will bring wireless printing support to iOS devices. iOS 4.2 will be available in November as a free download. iTunes 10 Oh wow… it’s about to get ugly. First of all they changed the icon, and the new one is horrible in my opinion. With iTunes 10, everything is aboutPing, Apple’s new music social network. Ping pretty much like Facebook, but with music. I call it ‘Facebook – the musical’ . You can create a profile, follow or be followed ( like on Twitter ), set your profile to public or private, share all of your shit, and get as much friends as you can. They basically re-invented the wheel. Really not thrilled about it, but… of course I will use it. Will I be a hardcore user? 99.9% chances NO!!!!!! New iPod Shuffle and Nano Basically both the Shuffle and Nano are the same in size and shape, but the new iPod Nano has a touch screen ( shuffle has a click wheel ) and runs iOS. There’s pretty much no way to explain the new Nano with words ( so wait for a video, or watch the keynote ), but since it runs iOS, we can expect it to be included in future jailbreaking tools. iPod Touch WOW. The new iPod Touch is an iPhone 4, except you can’t make/receive calls and you can’t get data over 3G It has the iPhone’s Retina Display, a 3.5-inch IPS-based that has a razor-sharp 326ppi resolution. That’s 960 x 640 pixels. It can record 720p high definition video and take photos with its back camera. It can FaceTime with other iPod touches and iPhone 4s, using its front camera. It runs at the same speed of the iPhone 4, using the same Apple A4 chip. It incorporates the same 3-axis gyroscope of the iPhone 4, which makes motion tracking more precise than just the accelerometer. They have also increased the amount of playback time: 40 hours. It will have iOS 4.1 built-in. It will be available next week for $229 (8GB), $299 (32GB) and $399 (64GB).
