Apple has killed the Palm Pre's ability to sync with iTunes in
cold blood, with its latest software update.  Don't install this
iTunes update if you own a Palm Pre -- it will kill the phone's
ability to easily sync with your library.  (Source: CNET) Leave
it to Apple to rain on everyone's parade  Apple doesn't take
kindly to would-be usurpers to its status of the highest tech
(and bestselling) smart phone on the market.  It has threatened
to take legal action against those who violate its mobile multi-
touch patent that it was awarded.  Now it has taken action to
try to kill the potential of the Palm Pre before it gains
significant market share.  One of the key features of the Pre
was its ability to sync effortlessly with iTunes, via firmware
support.  As the majority of MP3 players on the market are iPods
and most people have their music libraries on iTunes, this was
an attractive feature as it made for a painless import of your
music library.
