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.

Are they being forced?
Is Palm asking them to do anything?
Where they cross the line is when they actively block Palm.
Personally I think Apple just needs to continue their development and ignore companies like Palm.
