Palm Pre vs. Apple, Round 3
One of the most endearing features on the new Palm Pre was that fact that it was able to sync with all your music stored on iTunes.
Apple didn’t think that was so neat, so they updated iTunes a few days ago to close the door on Palm Pre owners.
Tonight, round three.
Palm has just release a big webOS update for the Pre.
OS software version 1.1.0 adds a bunch of new features including a NFL Mobile Live (audio and video) application, tweaks to the calendar, camera, clock, contacts, email, messaging, system software, Web browser and YouTube application.
Oh, yes – they also reinstated synching with iTunes.
On the official Palm Support Software Update Information Website they put it this way:
“…Resolves an issue preventing media sync from working with latest version of iTunes (8.2.1).”
Isn’t this stuff fun?
Let’s see how long it takes Apple to counter Palm’s counter move.
As for the actual update, webOS 1.1.0 downloaded and installed easily and perfectly over my Wi-Fi connection. (Take that, Apple!) The whole proceedure took a total of 10 minutes.
