PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless So, you thought this whole tug of war over iTunes synchronisation was over, right? The USB Implementers Forum slapped Palm in the face, and exonerated Apple from any wrongdoing. The thing is though, the USB-IF is pretty much a powerless organisation, so Palm tossed them aside, and fixed webOS iTunes sync in webOS 1.2.1.

Fixed? Nothing to be fixed here.They just restored back the sync.Pre is masquerading iPod/iPhone by using the same ID. Does that means that every software conceived to communicate with the iPhone/IPod will via USB will treat a Pre the same way?I'm curious what will follow next.I'm not familiar in the ways a contract with USB-IF works but I suppose that if there's such a contract then it should be respected by both parties.By the looks of it this is more like a "gentlemen agreement" and Palm didn't broke any law here.So,somebody please enlighten me: can USB-IF do something? Or Apple,of course.
