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.

Personally, I'm not a fan of Apple's gadgetry. I simply think most of their stuff is subpar, but gets by because it's "popular" or "cool" (if it costs more or Paris Hilton uses it, it must be the best, right?) Whatever! I think Palm should forget about iTunes altogether and bundle an open source (superior) media manager like the new Amarok 2.2 (http://amarok.kde.org/), which is available on all three platforms (e.g., Windows, Mac, Linux.) Why continue to promote Apple's software if Apple won't play nice. The open source community will be all too eager to oblige in making the Palm WebOS music syncing experience something to relish, especially if Palm tosses it a bone (monetary support) for its efforts.
