Apple refuses to Update iTunes on the Palm Pre

New York City : NY : USA | 4 months ago  
Views: 25

If you have a Palm Pre, you will have a very hard time syncing it with iTunes 8.

The latest update,iTunes 8.2.1, now verifies if your device is an Apple device. If it is not, you will have to find other ways to put music on your Palm.

This will certainly cramp the style of most iTune users.
