iTunes 10 is integrating Facebook for music. Steve Jobs proudly presented the feature on yesterday’s Apple fall 2010 event. I think that they will have a hit with ping. How cool it is to follow your favourite artists and see what they like for music. Also the exclusive photos they post are now in your pocket on the go.

The iTunes app for the iPhone has automagically a new ping button in the bottom menu. So if you install iTunes 10 you can already use it on any iOS4 device. I wonder how they have updated the app? Anyone an idea?

iPhones in Belgium are exclusively sold through the mobile provider MOBISTAR. Let’s first check with Apple’s website if I have warranty because it is an Apple iPhone and not a Mobistar iPhone. I checked http://www.apple.com/benl/support. There I find the link “Check your Service and Support coverage”. Here you have to type your serial number.
