Palm Pre syncs seamlessly with iTunes

How will Apple respond?


28 May 2009 17:53 GMT / By Duncan Geere

Palm has quietly let slip that its forthcoming phone, the Pre, syncs happily with iTunes. It turns out that the iTunes Store treats the Pre just like an iPod or iPhone and you can sync with it happily.

Third party programs that'll let devices interface with iTunes have been available for years, but Palm appears to have built the code into the device from day one.

Apple is making no comment for now but given that its legal team hasn't been shy about baring its teeth at Palm in the past, we wouldn't be surprised if this disclosure caused yet another kerfuffle between the companies.
