HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Apple has handicapped rival Palm Pre by disabling its ability to sync with iTunes in its newest iTunes version.
This comes after Apple announced a few weeks ago the newer version of iTunes may not sync with non-Apple media players.
Industry watchers were not shocked by the move, but analysts didn’t expect Apple to follow up on its warning so soon.
Pre users don’t have to worry though- you can still upload music to your phone by either uploading your own personal music or using other mp3 download sites, and of course older iTunes versions would still allow pre users to download music.
Google is now giving all of your phones one voice. The search engine has gradually begun offering users its new service, “Google Voice” which allows all of your phones to ring from one phone number.
The new service is in such demand that the company invites are being auctioned for $100 on eBay.
Google has announced blackberry and Google Android Apps for voice, but iPhone users are left out in the cold for now.
Following your favorite stores of clubs on twitter could end up saving you money.
If you sign up to “follow” stores or clubs that you like, you can receive message tweets offering sales or discounts. Most of these only last a few hours, so you have to check your twitter page regularly so that they’re not missed.
Businesses can be found by using the “find people” tools on twitter.com, but use caution and stick with businesses that you know to avoid scams.
