And the back-and-forth goes on. "Here we go again. Apple has updated iTunes to version 9.0.2 and Palm Pre sync is dead again using webOS 1.2.1, despite Palm's Hurculean efforts to spoof nearly every aspect of USB identification known to mankind. As with previous breakages, iTunes does launch when you connect a Pre with Media Mode, but it doesn't appear as a device on the sidebar. Pre owners can at least take comfort in knowing that Apple's main goal here was adding support for the new AppleTV format, but breaking Pre sync support was a nice cherry for them."

I hope so too - it's great to watch Apple scrambling around reactively trying to break interoperability, all the while failing to realize that they're giving a giant middle finger to any OS X users who also own a Pre.
Hopefully all OS X-using Pre owners will get tired of Apple's anti-competitive antics and ditch Apple cold turkey. "
Yup, they're running scared alright.

Something tells me they're just doing it to piss off Palm. and Palm deserves it.
Palm should consider developing their own music app or using an open source one, like everyone else. This nut-hugging off of Apple is getting absurd.
