If Apple kills the Palm Pre's iTunes syncing, then Pre users may have to find another way to download their music. Last night, Apple put out a thinly veiled 'support note' suggesting they'll try to break the Pre's syncing system in future versions of iTunes. Palm today declined to commit to a cat-and-mouse game of competing updates.

"If Apple chooses to disable Media Sync in a future version of iTunes, we just think it will be a direct blow to their own users," Palm spokeswoman Lynn Fox said. "We just think it would be unfortunate if they were to choose to do that."

Pre users would be able to keep the current version of iTunes, which works with the Pre, transfer music to their phones by dragging and dropping, use Windows Media Player to sync, or "we can look into other options as well," Fox said.

Other options already available include the third-party Missing Sync product, which syncs music and videos from iTunes without using Palm's own workaround.
