Loading ...Palm has tricked iTunes into thinking that the Palm Pre is an iPod so you can sync your Palm Pre with iTunes. Right now the latest iTunes 8.2 still supports the Palm Pre, but Jon Lech Johansen says that Apple can easily block iTunes support for the Palm Pre in their next update. The question remains whether or not Apple will block the Palm Pre from iTunes or not. Do you think Apple will do this? I definitely think they will be doing this in their next update because they’re Palm’s competitor.

What F%&^%en Haters, That is why I hate APPLE and anything related to APPLE. I believe that is a computer or equipment made for retards made by retards. So get yourself something other than APPLE and be the better crowd of people.
I’m not sure – I think there’s a strong possibility that Apple wouldn’t do this. The fact is that the iTunes music store generates a lot of money/business, and by forcing Palm Pre users out of iTunes, they’re only losing money, not encouraging people to purchase iPods or iPhones.
If Apple would release the iphone to other carriers, I might buy one and they would not have to block itunes for the pre. Too bad the pre is a superior phone. Yes, iphone has a lot of apps but for multi-tasking and business use, they can beat the pre.
They will only lose money if they block support for the Palm Pre…. I mean I wouldn’t it would attract more people to the iTunes store if iTunes support the Pre.
In other words it makes them richer. If Palm and Apple worked together on a multi-touch screen phone it would be the best phone ever made next to the iphone.
Too bad they aren’t teams but the Palm ZEN is coming guys….. in 2010 with multihover-touch, up to 128GB of storage, micro-USB with micro-USB flash drive support, HDMI 1.4 port, Custom ATI 256MB Dedicated VRAM GPU, Dual Core 1.6GHz AMD Processor, 720p HD 4.3-inch screen (1024×768), Cover Flow without touching Apple’s patent (available in Pre through updates), 8 Megapixel Xenon Flash HD Camera, 3Megapixel Front Camera withn near-HD video calling, 4G support, Multi-tasking, Palm webOS 2 or Windows Mobile 7 (two versions), Wi-Fi N using Broadcom chip,and larger keys on sliding keyboard and more comfortable design.
Features like video recording will be available in the Pre through future updates.
Future updates will bring Pre
Cover Flow (without touching Apple’s patent)
Improved Multi-tasking
Overclocking the processor
Improved response time (in all categories including touch)
Video Calling trough back camera
4G support
Optimizations to allow near-HD and HD video playback
The Palm ZEN will be available in one version that supports both CDMA and GSM. It has universal support for CDMA networks. If it is not compatible you can update it through Palm’s website, applciation (theyt are developing currently), or through the network’s website if they have a firmware for it. Also users will have to buy and own the Palm ZEN to use it they cannot buy the ZEN in network stores for a cheaper price with contracts though they can get it for retail price or reduced retail price with no contracts.
The ZEN also fetures a fingerprint reader on the screen itself and fingerprint locking to lock on one finger for hover touch use and prevent accidental interaction with phone.
The ZEN cannot be locked to one network in any means and is illegal. We do not allow networks to lock the phone. By we I meant Palm.
So…
