There's a thread here suggesting that you can enable it, but it doesn't work for me:

Could someone post an iPhone plist so I could try it?

And yes, I tried the plist hack without luck.

WHY would Apple restrict this to iPhone / iPod Touch users?

For those who see it, I assume you have an iPhone? Has anyone without an iPhone gotten it to work?

It ONLY works if you have an iPhone / iPod touch synced. Very VERY strange limitation.

This has to be some sort of bug. How odd.

Everything I've heard about this feature so far makes it sound like the iPhone/iPod touch restriction is entirely intentional.
