Apple iTunes 9.0.2 Software Update Available iTunes 9.0.2 Brings Apple TV 3.0 Goodies, Kills Palm Pre Sync

If you were wondering what's Apple cooking other than the new Apple TV
3.0 software update — which by the way brings in iTunes Extras,
Genius Mixes, Internet Radio and a redesigned menu for simpler and
faster navigation, next comes the iTunes update to make the two play
nice. Available as of right now on the company's Software Update page,
the new iTunes 9.0.2 not only brings an improved look and feel for the
new Apple TV 3.0, it also manages (now's the time to act surprised) the
Palm Pre sync.

Right when we thought the syncing problems are history or not, here
comes the new iTunes 9.0.2 that brings in a lot of goodies for Apple
users, but leaves you red faced if you own a Palm Pre. Some say there's
still a workaround with apps like DoubleTwist or Missing Sync, but we'd
much rather hear it from Apple. Why did they kill Palm Pre sync on
iTunes, again?

Meanwhile if you're not amongst those swearing words towards Cupertino,
iTunes 9.0.2 brings

An improved look and feel, including a new Column Browser for easily
browsing your artists or albums, movies, TV shows, and more.
iTunes Store has a brand new look, with improved navigation for quick
and easy exploration.
iTunes LP and iTunes Extras create unique experiences that feature
exclusive interviews, videos, photos, and more – available with
select album and movie purchases on the iTunes Store.
Home Sharing helps you manage your family's iTunes collection between
computers in your home. iTunes can automatically transfer new purchases,
or you can choose just the items you want.
Genius Mixes are created for you by iTunes and play songs from your
library that go great together.
iPod and iPhone syncing now allows you to organize your iPhone and
iPod touch home screens directly in iTunes. Syncing is now also more
flexible, allowing you to sync individual artists, genres, or TV show
and Podcast episodes.

library.
Sync with iPod nano (5th generation), iPod classic (Fall 2009), and
iPod touch (Fall 2009).

encoding and playback, more flexibility with Smart Playlists rules,
simpler organization of your media files inside an iTunes Media folder,
and more.
