Default IPhone IPods now able to sync with Palm Desktop

In retaliation for Palm bypassing ITunes, Apple has now updated the ROMs on all IPhones and IPods so they can now sync with the Palm's Desktop application. Though none of the applications or data are usable on the Apple devices, the community as a whole feels as though they are taking the fight to Palm.

Actually, you are indeed misinformed. The way it works is by reducing the maximum volume your audio file can play at. If you make one copy of a file, then each file can only play at half the maximum volume they had before. Three copies, 1/3 volume, four copies, 1/4, etc. Of course, if you just move the file, or make a copy and erase the original, maximum volume is unaffected.

People need to stop reading titles of threads only and give a response. Read the provided info. Hilarious.

I know I'm not the first person to say this, but I just don't know what's funnier; the excellent satire of the article, or that fact that there are so many people that didn't get the joke.

I knew my ears were not going crazy! Usually when I plug my Pre into my car stereo, it has as good of sound quality as my Ipod, but when I recently did the OS update and Itunes update (cuz I thought I would be able to sync) I found I couldn't sync anymore. I dragged and dropped my newer music, and sure enough....bass was so quiet all of a sudden! Hopefully this new 1.2.1 (38MB) OS update from this morning will re-enable syncing with iTunes cuz I miss the bass!!!!
