Snow Leopard Drops Palm OS Sync

Posted by timothy on from the exclusivity-demands-it dept.

adeelarshad82 writes "It's been just a little over a month since Apple blocked iTunes sync with Palm Pre, and now Apple takes that strategy one step further by blocking Snow Leopard sync with Palm-OS powered smartphones. Even though Palm has officially retired Palm OS and is now focusing hard on its next-generation WebOS in the Palm Pre, the company is still selling Palm OS-powered smartphones; two current models are the Treo Pro on Sprint and the Centro."

    I'm really not happy with this interplatform bitching.

    There should be laws against this kind of thing: the recent Google Talk blocking by Apple and this is an example of trying to maintain a monoply in my opinion.

    We all have a go at Microsoft for lock-in but why does Apple get away with it?
