Salling Media Sync replaces missing Palm Pre iTunes sync and more

When Apple updated iTunes to block the much-anticipated iTunes syncing feature of the Palm Pre, some of us at assumed it was just a matter of time until a third-party developer added it back. Salling Media Sync, an app that already had quite a few useful features, now does Pre-to-iTunes syncing, too. Salling Software admits the update was specifically designed to appeal to Pre users who feel burned by Apple's update.Salling Media Sync can transfer photos, podcasts, playlists and music to a variety of phones. Along with the Pre, it supports a ton of Nokia, Sony, and HTC devices, as well as the Blackberry Bold and Blackberry Storm. There are Mac and Windows versions, and they both requireiTunes 7.6 or newer. Salling Media Sync is free, with faster syncing if you buy a license for $22.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

DoubleTwist works for windows as well and is definitely worth the time it takes to get your music outside of the walled fortress that is Apple.

Unless you're talking DRM'ed files, of which they are phasing them out, there is no walled fortress when it comes to iTunes.
Hell, Apple provide an API which you can use to get details of any track in iTunes, it's meta-data and the location of the file on the hard-drive.
As such, it's pretty easy to write something which will synchronise content with a non-Apple device - although the experience won't obviously be quite so nice.
