As predicted, Apple blocked the use of the Palm Pre with iTunes in the latest update for the multimedia application, iTunes 9. Previously, Apple had locked out the Pre handset from iTunes with the iTunes 8.2.1 update. Following the initial block, Palm restored the syncing abilities with the WebOS 1.1.0 update.

This is why I hate Apple more than M$ and will always refuse to buy any Apple products.
Surely this is illegal, as its blocking a competitors product from using your software, so your own product has an advantage.
Didn't this once happen to Apple, where M$ didn't release Microsoft Office on Apple, and competition laws forced M$ to release it for Mac's.
Well whats going on is an even more blatent infringement on competition laws. Apple did something like this a few months ago with the skype application. Yet they recieve no punishment.
Whenever M$ do something like this its auto fist of justice from any goverment or any other major company, yet Apple always manage to get away with it.

I'm sure everyone here realizes this but if you don't update Itunes and you have auto update off the pre continues to sync normally. Just a heads up for pre owners. I would never buy an ipod but having a pre function as one is excellent!

I don't have a pre, but this news combined with the iPod Touch let-down has officially turned me into an Apple hater. Once my iPod dies, I'm picking an alternative mp3 player. They're not getting any of my money ever again.

No. In fact, the cornerstones of Office (Word and Excel) were originally exclusively available only for Macs.

Why would you deny your consumers iTunes on another platform when those could be sales?

I agree with everyone above. This bs would seriously piss me off if I owned an a palm and had purchased songs from iTunes. Another reason I didn't buy the iPod. Overpriced anyways. Apple can stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

Palm's whining to USB-IF is a joke. It's just an industry organization and has no real power over its members other than moral suasion. The most it can do is kick someone out, but that won't stop them from implementing the USB interface any way they want.
Apple is under no obligation to support devices it doesn't make. If a customer with a Pre calls up with a syncing issue, why should Apple have to go through the headache of figuring out if it's a iTunes or Pre issue? And even if it's a Pre issue, often the customer will blame Apple anyway.
