iTunes link cannot be opened in UI web view - iphone

I'm using iTunes link maker to access an album on iTunes.
Somehow the link doesn't open in UIWebView.
Anyone experienced this?
Is this a restriction or something? An update maybe?

Please try this url and tell me if you experienced the same thing.

Any link that have "itunes.apple.com" will not work on the Simulator.
Thanks #iNoob!

App Store review integration

I'd like to know how to put that menu inside my app that asks the user to review my app and redirects him to App Store to do so. Searched around but couldn't find much information, probably I'm not using the right keywords.
There's a nice library called Appirater for that.
If AppIRater is too heavy for you, you can send them directly to the page by using the format:
itms-apps://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?type=Purple+Software&id=APP_ID
… where APP_ID is your iTunes numerical application id.

Publish picture to Facebook from my iphone app

Who can explain step by stem how to publish on the Facebook user account pictures and albums from my iPhone app?
I know about FB iPhone sdk, but cannot understand the whole process.
1. Should I register application on the FB?
2. Can I publish my local pics, or must use links on the previously published pics on hosts like yfrog.com.
3.etc
Yes, implementing FB iPhone SDK for the first time is subject for a book...
Have you seen this video?
http://vimeo.com/3616452
It's a little outdated, but it was a good help for me to begin understanding the whole process...
As for question 2., I believe you can upload and publish the picture to FB user account, if you request the appropriate permissions.
You can also try ShareKit: http://www.getsharekit.com/
It makes things real easy :)

How can I add a link to an iPhone native app from website IF POSSIBLE

I have a link to a Facebook page from a website. I know I can use the URL scheme href="fb://" to open up the Facebook application from within an iPhone, but if the iPhone user does not have the native application installed, an ugly error message pops up. I would rather just send this user to the Facebook website.
There's gotta be a way to do this, but everything I've tried has had some short-coming:
Can't make a HEAD request to a different server
Can't run a try catch javascript function since the event leaves the client page
Can't seem to access information about the user's applications... or can I? I've read a bit about a cookie called "appInstalled" but can't find any real documentation about it.
Any ideas out there? Thanks a ton in advance.

Can a website determine if a device [iPhone] has certain applications installed ? I'm pretty sure that's a big NO because of privacy and security concerns.
Not a really technical answer, but you could change the user interface to give the user an option. For example, having:
Click here if you have the facebook application installed on your iPhone.
If you do not, click here to go through to the site.
Sorry that I cannot offer a "proper" solution, I'm not really that familiar with iPhone development.
