Palm Pre no longer syncs to iTunes thanks to New Version 8.2.1

Palm Pre users may fret and fume with the release of the new iTunes update version 8.2.1. Although it includes bug fixes to earlier versions it was released to keep out Palm Pre from syncing with iTunes. It was in the cards for some time now as Apple had earlier announced that new versions may not support syncing with any other non-Apple / unsupported media players.

How is Palm going to get around this?

Palm Pre was more attractive owing to the fact that it could sync with iTunes especially to people who were moving from iPhone to Pre. Palm could sync the Pre with the older versions of iTunes although it could do nothing about copy-protected songs. You can’t ask for more.

If you have a Palm Pre and wriggling your hand at this injustice, if you may call it so, then just don’t upgrade to v 8.2.1 and hope to continue syncing with older versions of iTunes.

Many are of the opinion that the iTunes holds a virtual monopoly over the online music marketplace. May be soon another contender will appear on the online music scene and give relief to music fans.
