Apple Thoughts: Palm Pre Still Syncs With iTunes After 8.2 Update

"An anonymous tipster just confirmed to us that the Pre iTunes sync continues to work with iTunes 8.2 (as it did with iTunes 8.2 beta for the iPhone 3.0 beta). The reader says that there's no worry (yet) that Apple's locking out the phone, and that iTunes continues to recognize the Pre as an iPod."

I gratuitously swiped the graphic from Gizmodo because it cracked me up! Anyway, I have to wonder how long Apple is going to allow this, if they're never going to stop it, or if it's just going to be the kind of cat and mouse game we saw with Sony and the PSP hackers. Personally, I think Apple should just leave it alone and make a huge deal out of how of all the things the Pre could sync with, they did some slick trickery to make it work with iTunes. Says a lot for who the standard bearer for people's music collection is, love it or hate it.
