Other blogs have speculated on how the Digital Agenda’s rules may apply beyond Apple’s Flash ban. Some have suggested that this digital strategy could be applied to change the closed nature of iPhone development via Xcode, whereas others have expressed thoughts on how iTunes’ restrictive style could be an issue — especially considering the whole Palm Pre syncing drama.

Nobody says a word about the reverse-engineering hacks that put jailbreak apps on the iPhone or an SMB client into OS X before Microsoft approved Samba (by court order), yet it’s no different than Palm “leveraging someone else’s hard work.”

More power to Palm, or anyone else, who gets their device to sync in iTunes, if that’s what the consumer wants.

They’re losing and they know it. What Palm is doing is unethical and unfair to its users.

Anybody rooting for Palm in this case is clearly deluded by Palm’s less than effective marketing machine.

Microsoft wanted other clients to access Windows file shares as much as Apple wants to open iTunes.

Farhad Manjoo makes the important point that it’s hypocritical to think that Apple is in the right.

In the end the consumers lose no matter what.

People don’t want a complicated program when syncing. They just want to plug in their phones and have it sync. I don’t see why apple is making such a big deal about it. It’s a win win situation for them, everybody still is using their iTunes store.

Enough of your shitty little biased reporting and your abnormal love affair with apple.

Its a tech company which makes nice products…nothing more. Don’t waste your life around it.

It might not have a store, but it does music management pretty well.
