Palm and Apple’s Tit For Tat

Palm re-enables its media sync – what next?

As reported by Cybershack last week, Apple made sure that the Palm Pre was incapable of synchronising music via iTunes.

Now, on its official blog, Palm’s VP of Business Products, John Traynor, has said, “Oh, and one more thing: Palm webOS 1.1 re-enables Palm media sync. That’s right — you once again can have seamless access to your music, photos and videos from the current version of iTunes (8.2.1).”

So where does this leave Apple? No doubt they’ll issue another patch so that the Palm and other iPod-capable products can’t use iTunes.

This tit-for-tat could go on for some time. We’ll do our best to keep you up to date as they start trying to enable/disable each other’s products.
