Daring Fireball was first topoint outthesupport article , titled “ iTunes : About unsupported third - company digital media player . ” In the one paragraph article , Apple write :
Apple plan the hardware and software to provide seamless integration of the iPhone and iPod with iTunes , the iTunes Store , and tens of thousands of apps on the App Store . Apple is aware that some third - parties claim that their digital media players are able to synchronise with Apple software program . However , Apple does not provide support for , or test for compatibility with , non - Apple digital media thespian and , because computer software change over time , unexampled versions of Apple ’s iTunes software package may no longer provide synchronize functionality with non - Apple digital mass medium instrumentalist .
Unofficial translation : We have the power to arrive at the kill switch on Pre syncing before you may tack from Pandora to Tweed ( which is in reality pretty fast ) . Tread lightly .
What this intend for the Pre compatibility in reality being shut down by Apple , nobody have a go at it . But that ’s a pretty solid message , even if it is n’t quite a threat . [ make bold Fireball viaTechCrunch ]
