“Did Palm License the iTunes API for Palm Media Sync?”
Still, they certainly are talking like they didn’t run this by Apple first. That raises all sorts of other questions: Will Apple break this functionality? Will they sue? Does Palm have so many powerful patents to hold over Apple that they’re effectively not afraid of Apple’s wrath?
First cogent analysis I’ve read since it’s been announced that the Pre would sync with iTunes. If they had waited to ask for a license, be denied, sue for monopolistic practices, and win, Palm would never have been able to launch with that functionality.
Chances are Apple will block it in an iTunes update, but then they will be the bad guy.
