Why should Apple be forced to make its privately-built and funded sync application work with a competitor's product? Blackberry makes their own. Microsoft makes their own. Apple makes their own. Palm should make their own.
It doesn't really need to be more complicated than that.

Why reinvent the wheel? Why shouldn't other phone companies have been forced to put in their own lines as an example? Apple does not need to do the garden wall mentality thing. Palm ruled for years with allowing anybody who felt like it to add apps. Many of which were better than what they put out.
If I as a customer want to be able to hook up to iTunes from an alternate device why shouldn't I be able to? What's the difference to me how I do it. Competition is a good thing. I figured Apple was finally wising up when they took the DRM off but apparently not.
