Earlier in July Apple put forth a software update for the music downloading service iTunes. The update prevented the Palm Pre from syncing with the popular service. Prior to the update, iTunes recognized the Palm Pre as an iPod within your computer. At that point you were able to easily perform the same exact file downloads as the iPhone could.
Once this iTunes 8.2.1 update took place which required "verification of Apple devices", one of Plam pre's main functions went away.
Presently Palm is battling back with its current update ,1.1.0. This will reverse Apples update. By allowing Pre users to enter the menu, then hit the gift box icon with the "update" label to begin download. A quick Wi Fi network is recommended for this action.
The 1.1.0 update will once again let Palm Pre users to sync with iTunes.
If Apple throws out another checkmate in the future Palm users may want to try a free web based PC service named "Dazzboard" it claims to be able to do the job of the 1.1.0. update
I have a feeling that this is far from over between the two companies.
