What a pain. Is it even worth it to those of you that have an unlocked iPhone to not be able to get the new features? It wouldn't for me, I appreciate simple.Â*</p>

Mouse's turn.

At some point Palm should just do their own music library/sync thing and just read data from other library's music folders.

Having the sync with iTunes is one of the fun items on the Pre. My co-worker uses the sync to upload the ringtones but keeps his music on his 3rd gen Nano.

Having the fixed storage limitation makes it impracticle to really use it as a replacement for the iPod.

All's fair in technology war!
