Palm Restores iTunes to Pre

From PC World: Palm this weekend re-enabled synchronization through Apple's iTunes for owners of its Pre smartphone, ignoring warnings from a standards group last month.

The release of webOS 1.2.1 Saturday was the latest in the back-and-forth between Palm, which kicked off the iTunes sync last June with the launch of the Pre, and Apple, which has blocked the practice several times with iTunes updates.

"This release also re-enables the ability of Palm media sync to work with the current version of iTunes," Jon Zilber, Palm's director of online communications, said in a post to a company blog .

According to webOS 1.2.1's release notes , Palm also added photo synchronization via iTunes for the Pre, upping the ante in its tug-of-war with Apple.

Apple shipped iTunes 9.0 in early September, and updated it on Sept. 22 to version 9.0.1. Palm's webOS 1.2.1 works with the most recent edition of Apple's media software.
