What's In the latest iTunes?

According to Apple, iTunes 9.0.2 adds support for Apple TV software  3.0,  and improves support for accessibility. There are also some cosmetic changes. Oh, yeah, one other thing too. It breaks the ability of the Palm Pre to sync with iTunes. PC Magazine covers a little bit of the battle.

Using MobileMe with Windows

If you are trying to sync Apple MobileMe with Windows, be aware of some limitations. First, contact syncing will only work with Outlook 2003 and 2007, Outlook Express (Win XP), and Windows Contacts (Vista). You can only sync calendars that are in Outlook 2003 and 2007, and bookmarks can only be synced with Safari and Internet Explorer. (Sort of get the feeling that Apple wants to exclude Mozilla?) You also need the most up-to-date version of iTunes. See more troubleshooting help at Apple.

According to Apple, the iTunes 8.2.1 update  "provides a number of important bug fixes and addresses an issue with verification of Apple devices." Translated, that means Apple fixed it so that the Palm Pre cannot be used at the iTunes store.
