The Pitch – How do you feel about Apple turning off iTunes for non Apple devices?

Apple’s new iTunes update locks out non-Apple devices, what do you think about that?

Question:

The newest iTunes update has locked my Pre out of the program…how do I feel?

Answer:

Thankfully, I read gadget blogs very frequently so I have not updated to the latest version of iTunes. However, if you want to know how I feel about it, it’s very simple. It’s annoying, but it’s their software so they can do what they want and Palm developers can find a way around it.

However, Apple didn’t lock out PC users from using it. Hmm. PCs dominate the computer market, so it’s ok for iTunes to run on it. The Palm Pre (which I’m sure is at least part of the reason they introduced the update) is a new player in the smartphone game, which the iPhone currently dominates.

So, Apple will only lock out those weaker than them. Hmm
