Do you have a Palm Pre, Blackberry, even a PSP and have always wished that you can sync your iTunes library with that device. Well I’ve found a solution for you! Apple doesn’t want 3rd party devices to sync with iTunes, luckily there is freeware that will allow you to sync a 3rd party device with iTunes.
Double Twist is very easy to use, all you have to do is just launch the application and plug in your device, then just simply drag and drop music and videos to transfer them. Double Twist is available for both Windows and Mac, and the best part is it’s FREE!
So there you go, if you need to sync a 3rd party device with iTunes then this is a good and free solution. If you would like to download the app click here.

Apple released an iTunes update (8.2.1) which it’s main goal was to prevent/not allow Sprints Palm Pre to sync with iTunes. This was expected from the beginning when Palm announced that the Pre can sync with iTunes. Of course Apple wouldn’t allow that to happen, the Pre is a “rival” of the iPhone so it wouldn’t make sense for Apple to allow the Pre to sync with their Media Player/Organizer.
Apple states in the Software update information that:
“iTunes 8.2.1 provides a number of important bug fixes and addresses an issue with verification of Apple devices.”
This is bad news to all the Pre owners out there who don’t want to get away from iTunes, however I’ve heard people using “Media Monkey” to sync their Pre with their computer, I don’t know how good it is, but like I said I’ve heard good things about it. Or you can just stay with your current version of iTunes, which in my opinion is your best option.
Also here is Palms response:
“Palm’s media sync works with iTunes 8.2. If Apple chooses to disable media sync in iTunes, it will be a direct blow to their users who will be deprived of a seamless synchronization experience. However, people will have options. They can stay with the iTunes version that works to sync their music on their Pre, they can transfer the music via USB, and there are other third-party applications we can consider.”
