Well that was quick, just a few days after the release of webOS 1.2.0 Palm has issued a new update to address to important problems. The first involves Exchange mail syncing (as webOS 1.2.0 rendered it useless), and the second fixes that problem called iTunes syncing.
If you’re new to the party, Apple and Palm have been playing cat and mouse concerning the iTunes syncing which Apple claims is illegal because it tricks the software. So far the MO of Apple has been to release an update to iTunes which breaks the sync, and a few weeks later Palm sends out a patch to webOS that brings syncing back. Well Palm has done just that again. So those iTunes users, rejoice, syncing of your Pre to your iTunes software is possible again.
Since USB-IF has gotten pissed at Palm, said company basically isn’t getting help from them, on the other hand there’s nothing much they can do so we’ll have to wait and see what the next major move is in this chess game.
