Pre Palm sync with iTunes

It seems just unbelievable, but so much so. A Fortune article reported that the latest anti-fatigue and official iPhone Palm, the famous Pre Palm, syncs natively, without any problem of compatibility, music (not protected by DRM) and videos with iTunes.

Jon Johansen, better known as DVD-Jon and author of doubleTwist, suggests on its blog that the work was completed by Palm to reach the goal, and also explains why the compatibility will be broken. In short, the smartphone palm is believed to be an iTunes for iPod, and that’s why when you sync the message “Sync iPod”, not “Sync Palm Pre”:

So how can you Palm? It ‘very simple, actually. Begin with a more basic question that has not to deal with Pre: a computer, what is the difference between an iPod and a stick of Kingston memory? The iPod has a Vendor ID (a producer code) USB specifically identifying it as a product and an Apple USB Product ID identifying it as a specific model of iPod.

Several melalettori of southern origin, or close to the world of production, will be particularly reluctant to consider Sansa winning a brand name for a multimedia player. Moreover, the ways of marketing are endless, and it is not unimportant that a car like the Volkswagen continues to enthusiastically sell a car named Jetta.

However, Sandisk, Sansa, which produces (in addition to being a world leader in flash memory), has become the second largest world producer of digital music players. But the distance that separates it from the top of the league is such that he had admitted a total yield, while being aware that the future of the iPod there will be more and more the type of flash memory, from Sandisk so evangelised.

Who issued this defeat is the SanDisk CEO Eli Harari, the same who once challenged his majesty the iPod to the cry of “iDon’t”, a particularly aggressive advertising campaign and sfottò, some ‘like that for years Apple achieved against its rival operating systems, Microsoft.
