iOS 4.1 HDR Pictures Post from: FSMdotCOM We’ve seen some amazing photos shot with the iPhone 4 back in June . Now, let’s take a look at some iPhone 4 HDR photos. The HDR function will be available in iOS 4.1 that will come out next week ( GM already available to developers ), and it will be built right in to the native Camera application. By combining these three photos, iOS 4.1 uses “pretty sophisticated algorithms” to produce an HDR photo. iOS 4 accomplishes this by taking three photos in rapid succession: one with normal exposure, one underexposed, and another overexposed. By combining these three photos, iOS 4.1 uses “pretty sophisticated algorithms” to produce an HDR photo. HDR photos allow for superior pictures in daylight or other bright settings. Particularly when a shadow is cast on the subject or a part of the photo, it allows for a more accurate representation that doesn’t allow the light or shadow sources to overpower the picture and result in a murky or discolored photo.

SwirlyScreen Updated For iOS4 Post from: FSMdotCOM SwirlyScreen ver 2.1 has just been released and it is compatible with iOS4. The Cydget framework is not yet fully compatible with iOS4 and therefore it is not possible to edit the Lock Cydget Order in the normal way on iOS4. After installing SwirlyScreen 2.1 you can decide which lock screen shall be on top by switching to it (with the home button). When you have the desired lock screen visible, just slide-to-unlock your iPhone and it will be on top further on. As soon as the Cydget framework is made fully compatible with iOS4 everything will be back to normal regarding this. Read more about SwirlyScreen here . You can buy SwirlyScreen for $1.99 from the Cydia Store via BigBoss repo

iRiS: Immediate Mobile Remote Interaction System [video] Post from: FSMdotCOM Alexander Wiethoff of the Department for Informatics at LMU Munich (and a former Experientia intern – disclosure) has developed with the Univeristy of Saarbr?cken a mobile device application that enables a radically new form of interaction with buildings that will be shown Sunday and Monday at Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria. “By combining a recently developed mobile software application with the multimedia facade of the ARS Electronica building we developed two prototypes: in the first application, users can paint interactively on the building using touch input on the mobile device. In a second application, users are able to solve a jigsaw puzzle displayed on the facade.” [ via Core77] ?

HOW TO: Create iPhone Ringtones With iTunes 10 Post from: FSMdotCOM Yesterday, we told you that iTunes 10 no longer lets us create ringtones , because Apple removed the ringtones feature introduced back in 2007. Well, you still can create your own ringtones, and we’re going to show you how. Actually this is a re-post from June 1st 2009, but it still works… First you need to find ( or add ) you favorite song to iTunes. Make sure you listen the tune one more time to , and decide EXACTLY which part of the it you want as a ringtone. I think that most of you would want the chorus in a song as a ringtone, so make sure you note the time that it starts and it ends.

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]
