“How Palm Re-Enabled iTunes Sync”

my 1.1 Pre [is] identifying itself with an Apple USB Vendor ID:

Product ID: 0x8002

Vendor ID: 0x05ac (Apple Inc.)

Version: 0.16

Manufacturer: Palm Inc.

I find it very interesting — and clever — that they deliberately leave some identifying stuff out so that they can drag this back-and-forth as long as they can: the next iTunes update will recognize the “Manufacturer: Palm” part, and the next webOS update will change it. You can be sure that version of the webOS is even already developed, and locked away in a safe.

Don’t know how they intend to win in the long run, but they’re buying time quite efficiently.

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
