This pointless game Palm is playing makes no sense to me. Has nobody at Palm ever owned a Mac and a Nokia phone or Blackberry? I just don't understand why they didn't take the obvious and professional route (that many other companies have taken), and just access the public XML file that iTunes generates to allow 3rd party syncing applications. It would be a much more significant issue had there been no way for 3rd party devices to access the iTunes library. But there is, and its been there forever & is in use by other phone companies for the exact same purpose Palm is attempting to achieve. What does Palm stand to gain from a feature that can break at another companies whim with no advance notice? Its a shame too, because besides this one really stupid move, I'm really starting to like Palm's current direction. A new OS that is actually out, on new devices, with more in the pipeline? And I can actually hold this device with this OS in my hand rather than just reading about it? Bring on the new Palm. Just drop this one stupid issue, PLEASE. To everyone but Engadget commenters, it makes them look bad.
