Costco Stops Apple Sales

Friday, 10 December 2010 12:17 Written by Chris 0 Comments

Chief financial officer of Costco Richard Galanti has confirmed that his company has reached a mutual agreement with Apple to cease the sales of Apple products.

Galanti made the statement during a conference call yesterday, saying that his company and Apple “agreed to wind down” according to a report by The Seattle Times. Costco had carried only iTunes gift cards and the popular iPad tablet; the decision was allegedly made in part due to Apple’s apparent reluctance to allow Costco to sell iPad devices online.

Palm Adds iTune Syncing to webOS 1.2.1

Saturday, 03 October 2009 22:02 Written by Chris 0 Comments

Palm PreDespite not including iTunes syncing in the webOS 1.2 update last Tuesday, Palm has released version 1.2.1 to include just that option today.

Functional with both the Palm Pre and the upcoming Palm Pixi, webOS 1.2.1 flies in the face of Apples efforts to eliminate media synchronization with iTunes 9.0.1 in offering that features, along with repairing a bug with Microsoft Exchange.

Palm has been at odds with Apple over its marketing the Pre as an iTunes-compatible phone and the USB Implementers Forum has recently joined the fray in Apples defence, suggesting that Palm may be legally unauthorized to offer such a service. No resolution has come yet and it would appear that the Pre maker is prepared to battle it out in the meantime.

Palm has stated that this update will roll-out to users over the air over the next few days.
