We’re really tired to see this weird game between Apple and Palm. It was a little funny at first but we should expect to see this mind games occur every now and then. Here’s how it works: Apple launches a new iTunes version that happens to block the Pre out and then Palm comes up with a solution that will allow iTunes synching again.

Apple has a new iTunes version available and naturally, Palm Pre owners won’t be able to use it, at least for the time being. Version 9.0.2 was launched this week and it’s still too early for Palm to release an iTunes syncing solution. The simplest thing you can do is not to download the upload and keep using your old iTunes version with your Pre. What do you think?

The new iTunes terms & conditions have a new paragraph which reveals more details about Apple TV 3.0. You’ll be happy to know that Apple TV 3.0 will offer support for iTunes LP and Extras viewing as soon as it becomes available. These features will be available only on those computers running iTunes 9 or higher and Apple TV 3.0 or higher.

Apple announced the iTunes LP format back in September and in case you forgot, iTunes LP will let you access a lot of bonus material about your favorite artists. iTunes Extras does the same thing with movies so you’ll probably enjoy both features once they become available. We have no idea when Apple TV 3.0 will become available but we’re expecting it to arrive soon.
