Palm Pre owners may lose iTunes sync
When Palm began selling the Pre smartphone June 6, one of the features it touted was the ability to sync your Apple iTunes library to your Pre, but Apple is now saying, “Not so fast.”
In a statement posted on its Web site June 16, Apple notes that “some third-parties claim that their digital media players are able to sync with Apple software. However, Apple does not provide support for, or test for compatibility with, non-Apple digital media players.”
Apple goes on to state that subsequent iTunes software upgrades “may no longer provide syncing functionality with non-Apple digital media players.” In short, Apple is quoting Nelson Muntz, the bully character from The Simpsons, in saying “Ha-ha!” to Palm.
