The long awaited Palm Pre is not only iPhone killer but is also going to be iTunes stealer. Fortune has a report that the Pre syncs seamlessly with iTunes.

iTunes just recognize the Pre as an iPhone or an iPod touch with the exception that it cannot handle old copy protected songs. This is the first open invasion that Apple is going to combat. Tim Cook earlier has said that Apple would use all available means to fight for the intellectual property of the company. 

Jon Rubinstein who was behind the building of the original iPod seem to have done a lot in making the Pre what it is today.

Rubenstein is Palm’s president at present and I am sure he and the Pre would be in news very frequently, if Apple decides to be nasty.

We’ll have to wait and watch.
