iTunes update breaks Palm Pre's access to songs... no longer will sync. PING!

I was surprised when I read this, although I don't use a Pre. Then I read that Palm is now run by former Apple employees here.

One thing I've noticed about Jobs is that he has a long memory. After Michael Dell said if he owned Apple he'd shut it down and give the money back to the investors, Jobs was fairly quiet until Apple passed Dell. That was something like five years later, and Jobs issued a press release noting the fact.

Michael Eisner was slamming Apple for "piracy" by not preventing their computers from ripping CDs. Jobs waited until Eisner was fighting for his job as Disney CEO, and on the date of one of the most important meetings, released a statement saying Pixar would no longer negotiate with Disney when their contract ran out.

The Pre is a blatant rip off of the iPhone, with the only distinction being the slide out keyboard. As iTunes is provided at no charge, it's Apple's business if they want it to synch with 3rd party products or not.

I think part of Apple's problem was that Palm apparently has the Pre ID itself as an iPod, and never tried to negotiate with Apple on synching with iTunes.

Installed without issue. Don’t have a Pre so I guess I am in good shape :)
