Part of iTunes 8.2.1 update description

Apple's iTunes 8.2.1 iTunes description contains the statement seen in the screenshot above: ...and addresses an issue with verification of Apple devices.. Of course, we know it really means the issue is with a non-Apple device - the Palm Pre.

And, Pre focused sites like PreCentral.net confirms this...
