Snow Leopard Drops Palm OS Sync 290
adeelarshad82 writes "It's been just a little over a month since Apple blocked iTunes sync with Palm Pre, and now Apple takes that strategy one step further by blocking Snow Leopard sync with Palm-OS powered smartphones. Even though Palm has officially retired Palm OS and is now focusing hard on its next-generation WebOS in the Palm Pre, the company is still selling Palm OS-powered smartphones; two current models are the Treo Pro on Sprint and the Centro."

seems appropriate, this name was proposed by my Power PC Tower which is also left out of all the fun.
but I just saved 30 bucks!
First the floppy, then serial, now the palm? (Score:5, Funny)
Jesus, Jobs, have you no heart? First you killed off the floppy disk drive. Then you wiped out serial ports in favor of USB. Now you're blowing out syncing technology that barely anyone uses any more in order to streamline your OS... shame, shame on you.
Sorry, I'm having a real hard time getting worked up over this, or even seeing a nefarious scheme behind it.

We are! Apple are now bringing their support for Palm in line with Microsoft: None.

1.) Apple updates OS, modernizing and streamlining the codebase.
2.) Some legacy app that hasn't been maintained in 4-5 years breaks.
3.) Apple must have deliberately broken the software in an anti-competitive move.
I'm an ace at logic.

You guys are seriously unbeleivable how you manage to crawl up apples ass no matter what decree of vile scum they're flinging at you. These guys are the single most anti-competitive, communist, and plaugerising company in I.T to this present day, they haven't come up with anything they have "invented" themselves since Woz left in 1987 and you sing they're praises as if they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Put it this way, since the macintosh/windows war microsoft has actually invented and innovated countless products while apple have managed to rip off open source something awful. What's going on here?
