Apple has updated iTunes to version 9.0.2 - and guess what, it no longer allows you to synchronise the Palm Pre with the application any more.
Yes, we like you are almost crying in frustration over this latest 'news' - as has been reported over on precentral.net.
This means that we're back to square one again, with all the 'hard work' of the 1.2.1 update to the Pre firmware being undone by one little Apple fix.
Is there a problem here?
It's almost as if Apple doesn't want Palm to synchronise its devices in the same way as the iPhone. And it's like Palm wants to keep irritating Apple into giving up. Almost.
So instead of 'reporting' the latest instalment of this 'to me, to you' style of media management, we'll just be issuing this phrase as an update: "The Palm Pre will now sync with iTunes after a firmware update / Apple's latest firmware update has blocked the Pre from iTunes once more.'

1. Apple should allow other devices to connect to iTunes - that way it came make money from the iTunes store. It's hardly going to affect buying patterns of iPod hardware.
Failing that, Palm should make it's own music software that can use the existing music files on the computer (without duplicating files or affecting iTunes). Simples.
