Hasn't Palm realised yet that Apple doesn't want any other devices to piggy-back its software? I can only imagine that someone in Palm is waiting for Apple to give up, and maybe similarly in the Apple camp. And I can't imagine that it will happen. Least of all in the Apple camp where I suspect that the "get rid of Palm" budget is bigger than Palm's "Hijack iTunes" budget. The most obvious question is why doesn't Palm make its own computer based music manager. They can all share the same library of music. I use iTunes (for iPod), Windows Media Player (for WinMob) and Sprint Music Manager (for Palm), all pointing to the same library of mp3s, syncing to their respective devices.
