Remember that brouhaha over the Palm Pre syncing with iTunes? (Check out PreCentral.net’s massive Palm Pre review for more on it from a functional perspective.)
Well, DVD Jon’s nanocr.eu site (via Engadget Mobile) says he’s confirmed that:
the way [Palm Pre] hooks to iTunes is very shady indeed. Turns out that the Pre identifies [...]
We’ve had a lot to say about the Palm Pre over the last few months, but it pales to insignificance compared to the epic monster of a Palm Pre review our noble Editor-in-Chief, Dieter Bohn, has just dropped on sibling site PreCentral.net:
There are Pre Reviews & then there are huge Pre Reviews with [...]
Palm faithful rejoice, Gizmodo — via an unnamed source — claims that Palm Pre still syncs with iTunes 8.2 release, same as it reportedly did with the pre-release version.
Meanwhile, Daring Fireball weighs in on the situation again, this time wondering if what Palm is doing is illegal, and if Apple stops it, whether that would [...]
Jeremy already passed along the warning from the iPhone Dev-Team on iTunes 8.2. In case you missed it, they told jailbreakers and potential jailbreakers NOT to install Apple’s just-released iTunes update.
According to their latest Dev-Team Blog post, the reason seems to be:
It breaks your ability to use QuickPwn, PwnageTool, and iPhone Tunneling Suite [...]
nanocr.eu (via MacRumors) has a theory on how the Palm Pre is managing to sync so seamlessly with iTunes. Read the full post for details, but their conclusion is a tad concerning:
When you select “Media Sync” on the Pre, it will switch its USB interface to use Apple’s Vendor Id and the Product Id for [...]
As Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak paid rapt attention (via Engadget), Palm’s new dynamic duo, Jon Rubinstein and Roger McNamee took turns amazing, informing, and stupefying the crowd at All-Things Digital’s D7 conference. Our sibling site, PreCentral.net has complete coverage, but from an iPhone perspective there were a few things worth drawing attention to…
Fortune scoop’let’ed the story: the Palm Pre syncs with iTunes. No, not like a dumb USB disk. Not even like a 3rd party-enabled BlackBerry on the PC. Somehow, when Jon Rubinstein joined Palm, someone at Apple forgot to frisk him for iTunes keys.
Our friends over at PreCentral.net, of course, are all over this:
If [...]
Yeah, provocative headline, but we’ve lamented in that past that the Palm Pre was too iPhone-like for us — based on the involvement of transplanted Apple brain trust — and how we’d have loved to have seen a truly next generation Palm device. Could it be, however, that the former have saved us from being [...]
To see the above image in all immenseness and glory, head on over to our sister site PreCentral.net. And yeah, AT&T did draw first blood a while back with their own internal comparison document, so we’re really more amused than amazed by this one, even if the categories chosen for the above comparison are a [...]
iPhone 3.0 (and maybe hardware version 3 as well?) vs. Palm Pre. This summer, that’s the question many would-be-smartphone purchasers just might be asking themselves. Both have their pros and cons. The iPhone has a huge profile and market presence, but the Pre has the old-school Palm faithful who have been waiting a long time [...]
