Salling Software AB on Wednesday updated its application for syncing media from iTunes to mobile devices. The new version supports Palm’s popular Pre smartphone, and includes the ability to also sync photos, letting users to bring their favorite photo albums with them.
"I admit the timing of this release is no coincidence," said Salling Software president Jonas Salling. "We’re betting there are a lot of Palm Pre owners who feel burned by the new iTunes, 8.2.1 update. But they can keep syncing with iTunes using Salling Media Sync! It’s totally free for basic use, with no track limit, no playlist limit, and no expiration—ever. And it syncs photos, too."
In addition, the new version of Salling Media Sync brings compatibility with Blackberry Bold and Storm, as well as support for several new devices from other manufacturers.
Salling Media Sync couldn’t be easier to use. Once the phone is connected to a USB port, the users simply select the playlists, podcasts and photo albums they want on the device. Salling Media Sync not only uploads the music tracks and podcast episodes, but also replicates each actual playlist on the device and—on devices that support it—transfers play count metadata for each item to the device, reinforcing the sense of having a piece of iTunes in your pocket.

Well, looks like Palm got itself a free PR round. It will be interesting what happens next. My prediction is that the Linux hacker community will step up and break the lock pretty fast.
