This series is brought to you by HTC EVO 4G , America’s first 4G phone. Only from Sprint. The “First to Know” series keeps you in the know on what’s happening now in the world of social media and technology. Welcome to this morning?s edition of ?First To Know,? a series in which we keep you in the know on what?s happening in the digital world. We?re keeping our eyes on three particular stories of interest today. iTunes 10 and Ping Are Now Live Apple’s latest version of iTunes and it’s new music-centric social network, Ping, went live late Wednesday evening, some eight hours after the product was announced at the company’s press conference in San Francisco. Mashable’s Christina Warren contends that Ping has a long way to go if it?s going to become a better alternative to MySpace . Samsung Unveils Galaxy Tab Samsung has revealed its long-awaited tablet, the Galaxy Tab , at the IFA consumer ...

While introducing Ping , Apple’s new music-centric social network, CEOSteve Jobs mentioned that it would immediately reach a userbase of 160 million people in 23 countries. Sounds impressive, until you remember that 23 countries actually isn’t that big of a number; and if you’re in a country such as Chile, the Czech Republic, Croatia or India, then Ping — just like the music store component of iTunes — is simply not available. The users in most countries around the world are used to products and features not being available to them – receiving money through PayPal or buying music through iTunes doesn’t work for me, for example – but Ping is different. It’s supposed to be a social network; its competitors, Last.FM and MySpace , are available in most countries in the world. Users expect it to just work, but in my version of iTunes, Ping simply doesn’t exist. Here’s a thread from Apple’s ...

Samsung has finally spilled the details about its long-awaited tablet computer, the Galaxy Tab, during a press conference at the IFA consumer electronics fair in Berlin. Samsung calls its tablet a “smart media device,” and Galaxy Tab definitely has the specifications to back it up: Android 2.2 support, a Cortex A8 1 GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM and 16/32 GB of internal memory with the possibility of upgrading through microSD memory cards. Furthermore, there’s a 7-inch TFT-LCD display with 1024×600 pixel resolution, a 3-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED Flash plus an additional front 1.3-megapixel camera for video chats (that’s got to hurt iPad owners at least a little bit) as well as Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity. The dimensions of the device are 190.09 x 120.45 x 11.98mm, with 380 grams of weight, and the battery should last through seven hours of movie playback. In other words, the iPad got a worthy competitor, not only b ...

Apple made a lot of announcements today, from the new Apple TV to the Ping social network for music built into iTunes 10. Because Apple is entering some new market segments (or, in the case of Ping, some new markets, period) Apple is now a direct competitor to a number of other companies already in the social music and streaming content space. Boxee , Rdio and Roku have all issued statements in response to Apple’s latest moves and what, if anything, it means for the future of those startups. Apple is describing Ping as a social network for music. It takes a very Facebook and Twitter approach to following friends and artists and is designed to make discovering and sharing new music super simple. Rdio, a startup created by the founders of Skype, also lists music discovery as one of its core strengths and missions. Of course, unlike iTunes, Rdio is a subscription service that allows users to enjoy on-demand streaming music for $4.99 or $9.99 a mon ...

As CEO Steve Jobs boasted at the company’s San Francisco event yesterday that Apple is activating 230,000 iOS devices per day, he also took the opportunity to accuse competitors of boosting their device activation numbers. “We think some of our friends are counting upgrades in their numbers,” said Jobs, likely referring to the recent figures from Google, whose CEO, Eric Schmidt, claimed that 200,000 Android activations were made daily in August. Google quickly responded to Jobs’s allegations. A Goole spokesperson told Fortune , “The Android activation numbers do not include upgrades and are, in fact, only a portion of the Android devices in the market since we only include devices that have Google services.” So there you have it: According to Google, more than 200,000 Android device activations may be occurring every day. Who do you trust: Apple or Google? Reviews: Android , Google More about : android , ap ...

Twitter has just announced the service’s official iPad app. It’s free and comes with a slew of touch interface bells and whistles built right in. The app is intended to allow for seamless navigation between tweets, photos, web pages, videos and other media and updates. It’s also usable even for those who don’t have Twitter accounts. Twitter for iPad [iTunes link] has a few new UI touches that you haven’t seen elsewhere. These features are custom-designed for the larger screen and touch capabilities of the iPad. It also caters to what the iPad was made for: media consumption rather than creation. Twitter’s Leland Rechis, a mobile UX designer, writes on the Twitter blog that the iPad is “a device that really lets content shine.” The main interface is a series of panes that can expand and retract based on the kind of content the user wants to access. “Tapping on a Tweet opens a pane to the right.
