Palm Ignores USB-IF Warning, Restores iTunes Sync

Posted by kdawson on from the gauntlet-firmly-on-floor dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Palm's cat and mouse game with Apple continues. Ignoring the warning from the USB Implementers Forum, with its WebOS 1.2.1 release this morning Palm has restored iTunes media synchronization in its new Pre smartphone — and gone so far as to extend sync to photos. And, according to Digital Daily, it has done this, once again, by using Apple's USB vendor ID. Does the USB-IF have any recourse here? Does Apple?"

    They don't have to. They just do it because it saves them from having to write their own sync code.
