You're missing the point. Those other devices have their own sync software. This conversation is 100% about the ability to sync your device, not about buying music online. There is nothing preventing Palm users from buying their music in iTunes and syncing it on their own. DRM is a thing of the past.
Palm is just leeching the iTunes sync, instead of investing money to write their own sync application.
Actually, what they're doing is even worse than that... to put it in simpler terms... it would be like someone opening up a new grocery store aimed directly at competing against Safeway, complete with a full marketing campaign geared around them vs Safeway... yet you go inside to buy a pound of hamburger, and they're using Safeway carts and baskets, and they put your groceries in Safeway bags, etc etc.
"Come buy Palm's new phone! It's better than Apple's iPhone!! (Oh, but don't worry, we've hacked it for you so you can still keep using Apple's sync software since we just didn't feel like writing our own.)"
