These two companies are going head to head regarding their latest phone models: The Palm Pre and the iPhone 3GS. Palm has done something controversal in that they are using a illegal technique to synchronize the Palm Pre with iTunes. Palm makes the Palm Pre pose as an iPod to get “better” functionality than other companies who synchronize with iTunes (via XML file) Apple has patched iTunes to fix the vulnerability that Palm exploited to do this, and Palm has come back and found another way. This back and forth has started a war between the two companies. Check out the video for my thoughts.
