Apple Will Break Palm Pre’s iTunes Sync Capability
Palm execs have been parading the Pre’s ability to sync with iTunes. Their fun will end soon after Apple released a statement through their support website titled “iTunes: About unsupported third-party digital media players”. Although the article is not directed at Palm, you can just read between the lines who they are aiming at. The next iTunes update will break the syncing ability of iTunes to Palm Pre.
From Apple:
Apple designs the hardware and software to provide seamless integration of the iPhone and iPod with iTunes, the iTunes Store, and tens of thousands of apps on the App Store. Apple is aware 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 and, because software changes over time, newer versions of Apple’s iTunes software may no longer provide syncing functionality with non-Apple digital media players.
