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."

Stop the Apple is Evil Whining... This a Palms fault. I am sorry but making a competing product and hacking it so it looks like an iPod is very unethical business behavior. This is OK if the individual does it to their own pre. But for Palm to do the Hack themselves then market it as iTunes compatible is unethical, and palm is forcing their customers to have a poor experience with their device.
Sure the customer would like any device to work with iTunes. However this is Apple business decision to keep locked down.
