iTunes kissing goodbye Palm Pre

Since the launch, the Palm Pre has a nifty feature that allows to be seen by iTunes and subsequently, it can sync  non-DRM tunes.

But today, Apple has decided to shut down this feature. Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr said the update "disables devices falsely pretending to be iPods, including the Palm Pre."

Palm spokeswoman Leslie Letts said Apple’s move is a "direct blow to their users, who will be deprived of a seamless synchronization experience." For a workaround, she noted, Pre owners can stick to the older version of iTunes, move music from computers to a Pre with a USB cable or consider third-party music applications.
