“iTunes 8.2.1 is a free software update that provides a number of
important bug fixes,” says Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris. “It
also disables devices falsely pretending to be iPods, including the
Palm Pre. As we’ve said before, newer versions of Apple’s iTunes
software may no longer provide syncing functionality with unsupported
digital media players.”

Since we have no clue how the BB Desktop software will interface
with iTunes, it may be premature to think that it will be blocked.
One of Apple's biggest arguments against Palm regarding the Pre sync
was that the Pre "presented" itself to iTunes AS an iPod - it
actually said "iPod" in the sidebar. That alone sounds like a
trademark violation to me. BB/RIM may be going about it a different
way, either by a 3rd party sync utility or something else.
MarkSpace has been doing this for years, and Apple has not publicly
complained.

Actually the PalmPre is not doing it now. Apple killed that off

Although, I've developed for them ALL (android, iphone, BB)... so
I've had them all, and still after three years nothing touches the
iPhone.
It will be interesting to see how long Apple allows the syncing of
the iTunes material though... PalmPre is doing it now, and the
word on the street is Apple will put a stop to it soon (not
legally, but from a technical standpoint).
