Palm Releases webOS 1.2.1, Re-Enables iTunes Media Syncing
Gizmodo reports that Palm has released webOS 1.2.1, restoring iTunes media syncing ability to the Palm Pre. The release comes just days after the launch of webOS 1.2, which failed to re-enable iTunes syncing and also broke Exchange 2007 syncing for a number of users, necessitating the rapid follow-up update.
The USB Implementers Forum raised questions several weeks ago about Palm's apparent misuse of Apple's unique Vendor ID number to trick iTunes into recognizing the Pre as an iPod. While some had speculated after that disclosure and the release of webOS 1.2 that Palm had finally given up in the cat-and-mouse game with Apple over the iTunes syncing issue, that certainly appears not to be the case.
