With iTunes 9.0, Apple once again broke the Palm Pre-iTunes syncing, but Palm is believed to keep enabling syncing on the Pre. Electronista reports on a supposed leak about the new webOS 1.2 software. According to unnamed sources, the software will re-enable the syncing between iTunes and the Pre.
The source goes on to explain that Palm is "committed" to re-enabling the syncing functionality as long as it doesn’t take too much time. With the 1.1 webOS update, it only took 5 minutes; but the latest fix is believed to have taken as long as 2.5 hours. With the first re-enabling update Palm changed the USB vendor ID to match Apple’s, but the most recent strategy has yet to be revealed.
The rumored 1.2 software update is reported being delayed because of a change to the App Catalog that forced Sprint to test the update.
It’s great to see Palm sticking up for what they think is right, but perhaps instead of using another company’s software to accomplish something they could have built themselves, they should take the extra "hacking" time and just build a good syncing app for the Pre.
BusinessWeek reports that Palm’s letter of complaint to the USB Implementers Forum backfired, turning the organization’s scrutiny onto Palm itself.
