Apple blocks rival smart phones

The latest update of Apple's iTunes has included a fix to block devices such as the Palm Pre that use the program for synchronising music and content. The BBC reports.

The Palm Pre smartphone is seen by many as a direct rival to Apple's iPhone because of its innovative interface and web based software.

Marketing for the new Palm Pre touted "seamless" synchronisation with iTunes, because it appeared as an Apple device.

Palm called the move a "direct blow" to Apple's users.
