That's for sure. That article screams setup. It was funny tho and definitely in line with the Onion News Network

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.

LOL is the perfect response here.

WICKEDCONTRA · 10/06/2009, 11:33 PM

Palm's latest news... "Web OS new update. the PRE is the only device that can sync to Itunes"

lol

special_k · 10/06/2009, 11:39 PM

I love that site because no one ever understands that it's a joke.

LupeValenz · 10/07/2009, 12:02 AM

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

pdog197804 · 10/07/2009, 12:07 AM

VeeDubb65 · 10/07/2009, 12:11 AM

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.

joetemp75 · 10/07/2009, 12:39 AM

i guess im not trading my pre for an iphone. damn

DrHeathenScum · 10/07/2009, 12:51 AM

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!!!!
