Since I’m not in San Diego recovering from the undoubtedly raucous partying that went on at Comic Con last night, I’m enjoying a lazy Sunday morning in Atlanta. Last week, I wrote about how the Palm Pre used to be able to disguise itself as an iPod when connecting with a computer running iTunes. This allowed a Pre user to synchronize the Pre to his or her iTunes account, something usually reserved for official Apple products. Apple responded by pushing out a nearly 80 megabyte iTunes update that, among other things, closed some loopholes so that non-Apple devices couldn’t slip in under the radar.

On Friday, Reuters reported that Palm is back in the game. Palm pushed out a software update for the Pre. Once downloaded and installed, this update allows the Pre to sync with iTunes again. You’d never know that former Apple executives work for Palm now, would you?

Unless the two companies come to an agreement — and I sincerely doubt they will — I imagine Apple will push out another update that will prevent anything other than iPods and iPhones from synchronizing with iTunes. And then Palm will probably come back with another update later on.
