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.

Palm media sync app.

If palm spent the money to create a media sync app they would have to allow other phones to sync with it or they would be hypocrites (as they are trying to get Apple to do) .

Well as a Pre owner... I see Palm as a pretty low level vendor anyway and don't have much respect for them as it is. I also own a 1G iPod Touch and the Touch blows away the Pre (except for phone functions of course). The WebOS is okay (needs some real work but has a lot of potential). The HW is poorly designed from a usability standpoint.

Ex: keyboard is not easy to slide open. The keys are too small for my fingers (med size hands). Not enough apps work in landscape mode. keyboard would have been more useful if it slid out the side (landscape mode) and the screen rotated. IF door for charger is very difficult to operate and seems flimsy (I expect this to break off in the next week or so). Although the biggest drawbacks are SW related. Needs VPN support badly! NEEDS MORE APPS! <<--- This is the biggest drawback!
