Palm's webOS 1.2.1 Fixes Exchange Glitch and iTunes Sync
Apple pushing the limits of vertical integration
What is missing from this discussion is that Apple is pushing the limits of permissible vertical integration between iTunes & iPod. If iTunes continues to be the de facto online music store, then Apple will have to follow at least one of two courses of action:
1. Open iTunes sync to third party devices.
2. Decouple the iTunes Store from the iTunes application.
US &/or EU regulators will not forever allow Apple to dominate both online music store & portable music player markets and use exclusive vertical integration between iTunes & iPod to lock out would be competitors.
