Apple get away with murder..... the EU should be all over them considering the way they slap MS at every opportunity.

or palm could buy licenses to sync with itunes and not reverse engineer its way in (which is illegal in the US).

Actually reverse engineering is legal in the US as long as you have legally obtained the product and are not under any area-specific legal provisions.  Lawsuits typically happen after reverse engineering takes place and the suspect runs afoul of a patent held by the owners of the original product.
