Linux Suitability for new iPods Axed

For years, Apple has provided solid and seamless synchronization from your computer to your palm, in the form of your iPod. However, while Linux users had no access to iTunes, clever hackers made it possible to sync their iPods to software such as Amarok and gtkpod.

Linux users will be sad to hear that Linux is no longer supported for the new iPods. Apple has locked down the song database on the newest generation of iPods, meaning the iPod nano, classic, and touch.
