Apple, Palm and doubleTwist
Many of you may know about the silent battle that has been going on between Apple and Palm with the Palm pre syncing with iTunes. While I see both of their arguments, I’m not here to make a case for either. But while talking about it with some friends, I pointed out that doubleTwist has the right solution.
In my opinion doubleTwist is a diamond in the rough. It already offers syncing between tons of devices, and if I was Palm I’d put some money and cut a deal with these guys and go with a iTunes competitor. Specially since the new release has the Amazon Music Store and it’s own music library.
Even though, doubleTwist has a bit more to go before they can really compete against iTunes head to head, I think it has a pretty good chance if things go right for it. Having its own library and a music store was a good step forward. If Palm, Amazon and doubleTwist got together and brushed up on the user interface, it would be great!
Hell just imagine a SongBird and iTunes like experience with a software that can sync your Android, Palm and Apple devices.
