In the latest version of iTunes version 8.2.1 Apple has made some modification which does not allow Palm Pre to sync with the Apple's store. Palm Pre was the only non-Apple device that has the capability to Sync with Apple iTunes which was seen as an undue advantage of the PAl users. On seeing this Apple promptly reacted and brought out a newer version of the iTunes which doesn't sync with Palm pre anymore. "The updated version disables devices falsely pretending to be iPods, including the Palm Pre. As we've said before, newer versions of iTunes may no longer provide syncing functionality with unsupported digital media players," an Apple release said. However, over on the Wall Street Journal, Palm spokesperson Lynn Fix said: "If Apple chooses to disable media sync in iTunes, it will be a direct blow to their users who will be deprived of a seamless synchronization experience."
