iTunes denies access to Palm Pre users

New Apple update blocks the smartphone from syncing with its music portal

A new update for iTunes effectively blocks users of the Palm Pre from using the music application.

Update 8.2.1, which was released yesterday, ostensibly provides bug fixes and "addresses an issue with verification of Apple devices." However, the update has been found to prevent the Pre from syncing with iTunes.

Well they did warn that they would do this.

I hope Palm fix it so that iTunes recognises it as an Apple device, that way this could become a hilarious game of cat and mouse lol.

I use itunes to sort my music for my DSi. muwahaha and I don't sync it so they can't stop me...

muwahaha

Had to be first to do it. I'm not proud of it... I just had to.

Little Bro gave me his ipod....cause he purchase a itouch...Apple makes it very hard to do much through itunes with the ipod....but I was able to copy all 3000 songs to my 120GB PS3........

hahahahaaaaahaaaa

glad I have an iPhone!

I'm an iPhone lover. Using it now. And I got to say that's pretty grimey. Oh well.

The palm pre is a nice phone. It's about time someone put out a phone as nice as the iPhone.

im an iphone user as well and im checking out that HTC Hero, it looks pretty good.

I own the Palm Pre.. Love it.. My only problem with it.. The apps store is still in beta stage for some reason.. So there is limited apps.. But the Pre is awesome.. The cards and mini key board work great

Do you know if they will expand their App Store by giving access of their dev kit to everyone or just major companies, cause they would be screwing themselves over

[mcgrawgamer]

first they demand MSFT to stop the laptop ads, now they prevent pre Itunes access.

Looks like Apple is finally starting to show their true colors. Beneath that milky white exterior is a black heart that hates competition. Can dish it but can't take it and wants to continue to charge over a 1k for a laptop which cost them 400 bucks to make.

Kind of like when a company gets exclusivity on a game

[Bill Gates]

Apple is hating on the Palm Pre because the Pre SPANKS the iphone all day long. The Pre is the best smart phone one the market and apple knows it.

Jealous, just like all the M$ xbox loving BABOONS...AAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

My went through 2 ipods 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen so I could care less about Itunes. They take too much space on my desktop. So I'll wait till the next MP3 Touchcreen comes out.
