I mean who has the most experience with apps, the most apps, and the most used app store. I know plenty of people with many different brands of smart phones and still use and ipod of some type just because of the incredibly large number of good apps. i have a palm pre plus and i don’t know if anyone else has seen their app catalog but it sucks. it is very single minded and small. it the difference in going to the dollar store for a shirt(palm apps) or going to mall of america(itune apps). the difference is that huge. if apple would like to take over the app market completely diversifying devices would be a good move.

Don’t like apple…don’t use the product. Its that simple. If palm was that great they wouldve created their own version of itunes and woudlve tried to compete fairly but they took the easy route by creating all this fuss without using the brains to create something better. Waaa Waaa…apple is soo mean. Give me a break you ppl are sad.

Why lock a system to work with just a few devices? Or lock it to work with only certain software? Ya, it brings some benefits to the user experience, not having to deal with incompatible software/hardware, but why FORCE the user to stay that way?

If you want to use a different app to manage an iPod, Apple gets mad, and starts firing up lawsuits. Ok, you decide to stick with iTunes, but then you are forced to use Apple products, otherwise you´ll start experiencing some difficulties syncing your songs.

At the end, the only ones affected are the users, except those that are really into the Apple environment, having everything Apple…

It’s childish to block hardware from other companies to work with your own software (unless there´s a possibility that it will crash or break the system, which doesn’t happen with Palm Pre, does it?). Period.
