Facebook to Devs: Get ready for Credits

Mar-3-2010

Facebook’s virtual currency, “Facebook Credits,” is getting very close to its full launch: a post on the Facebook developer blog explains some of the full terms of the system and what developers can expect as the currency continues to roll out slowly.

We might use it as a billing system for our new App – as well as iPhone Appstore sales – this should cover nearly all the market.

It might be a way around the Android billing problem too – as an Australian iPhone development company, we can’t develop for Android yet and get paid – so it will have to be a free app on Android and upgrade via Facebook or iPhone!

Background Play – App iPhone

Feb-28-2010

C-SPAN Radio for iPhone app streams audio in background while other apps are in use

The latest version of the C-SPAN Radio app (v.1.1, free) for Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch now offers "Background Play."

Upon running the app, users are asked if they’d like to "play stream in background?"

If you answer "yes," the app’s "Background Play" will use "Mobile Safari to play the station’s stream so you can use other apps at the same time."

The free C-SPAN Radio app for Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch is available via Apple’s App Store here.
