It is kind of stupid that it requires that since you can sync an iPhone 4 with Windows XP, which is even older than 10.4, but I guess it makes sense since you can still buy computers with XP on it whereas 10.4 has been dead for a few years now.

If your computer can support it, you can buy 10.6 for $29 and it'll install right on top of 10.4. It's also not hard to find a copy of Mac OS for free (off a friend or download it) and there's no copy protection or anything like that on it if your computer can only handle 10.5.
It should be able to handle it. I bought this Macbook in 2007.

Where can I get that upgrade for $29? I looked at the Apple online store and the only one I could find was if you have 10.5 you could upgrade to the new Snow Leopard but nothing that upgraded to 10.5.
