Fortune Magazine tripped over something interesting. The Palm Pre syncs “flawlessly” with iTunes:
In fact, the iTunes Store treats the Pre just as it would an iPod or an iPhone with one exception: it can’t handle old copy-protected songs.
One wonders if Palm is about to have the iLawyers unleashed upon them, or a new version of iTunes will ship around the time that the Pre hits the streets that “breaks” this feature. My bet is all of the above seeing as acting Apple God CEO Tim Cook has already told the world that legal action will be unleashed upon Palm if they infringe upon any Apple IP. Plus Apple has in the past come out with fixes that stop some third party software/hardware from working.
I think we should get the popcorn ready, this is about to get interesting.
