As you can see Apple iTunes is very popular software when you buy apple products especially Sunyvale-based mobile phone maker Palm when it come to its newly launched Pre smartphone. Palm says that the Apple companies have violated the USB Implementers Forum’s Membership Agreement by blocking the Palm Pre from connecting to the iTunes, Palm went to USB-IF to complain about this, and it finally received an answer to its plea. Bad news for the phone maker, it seems, since the Forum not only said that Apple had not violated the agreement, but also considered Palm’s move to enabling Pre’s connectivity as going against USB-IF policy. This is the letter the forum replied to Palm.

“Your letter also states that:
‘Palm will shortly issue an update of its WebOS operating system that uses Apple’s Vendor ID number for the sole purpose of restoring the Palm media sync functionality.’
I attach for your information the USB-IF’s adopted and published policy regarding Vendor Identification Numbers (VIDs). Under the Policy, Palm may only use the single Vendor ID issued to Palm for Palm’s usage. Usage of any other company’s Vendor ID is specifically precluded. Palm’s expressed intent to use Apple’s VID appears to violate the attached policy.
Please clarify Palm’s intent and respond to this potential violation within seven days.”

According to USB-IF, Apple has all the right to use its Vendor ID (VID) to set connectivity options for the iTunes, dismissing Palm’s allegations that this move is a violation to “the letter and spirit of the USB-IF Membership Agreement.” The Forum does not consider Apple’s use of its Vendor ID as being improper, but, as one can clearly see in the response posted above, it does consider Palm’s use of Apple’s VID as a violation of its rules.

Palm thought that the forum favor them but in fact it favor Apple…“We engaged with the USB-IF because we believe consumers should have freedom and choice in how and where they use the non-rights managed media they already own,” this is what the company Palm says… sad for Palm but if they really want to fight there rights, Palm should push it… go ahead palm i’m on your side…
