Yes, iTunes 9 breaks Palm Pre syncing. Again.

The back and forth is a bit tiresome, I'm sure, for developers on both sides of the commercial divide. Pre programers have to constantly figure out new ways around Apple's blocks of the device's attempts to sync with iTunes. And Apple has to keep building in further layers of code that stop this syncing.

As tiresome as it must be for programmers, who might at least get something of a cat-and-mouse thrill out of hunting out each other's weak spots and plugging the gaps, for Pre owners who find they regularly need to update their OS just to get that iTunes loving, it must be frustrating on top of tiresome.

First, the Pre could sync, then Apple put out iTunes 8.2.1 and stopped that nonsense. Palm didn't waste much time and within a week, Pre owners were back to pretending they had an iPhone.

Now with iTunes 9 out and busting up the Pre party, Palm has quietly delayed release of their latest software webOS 1.2, previously set to drop the day before Apple's event. The delay is probably related to the developers getting cracking on a code that hacks iTunes once again.

I'll bet you can guess what Apple will do next, can't you?
