Palm Pre "iTunes Hack" Detailed By DVD Jon 338

Posted by timothy on Thursday June 04, 2009 @01:32PM from the role-playing-game dept.

CNETNate writes "As the reviews of the Palm Pre start to roll in, DVD Jon expands on previous coverage of the Pre showing up in iTunes as some sort of an iPod, by publishing the offending code Palm has used to enabled the feature. As suspected, in regular USB mode, the phone addresses itself as a standard peripheral. But in 'Media Sync' mode, it claims to be an iPod ... from a vendor known as Apple."

coondoggie writes "Unmanned aircraft maker AeroVironment got an additional $5.4 million to further develop a diminutive aircraft that can fly into tight spaces undetected, perch and send live surveillance information to its handlers. Last Fall, AeroVironment, got $4.6 million initial funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop the Stealthy, Persistent, Perch and Stare Air Vehicle System (SP2S), which is being built on the company's one-pound, 29-inch wingspan battery-powered Wasp unmanned system."

That's ridiculous. All they give you is the price without taxes?? We don't see anything like that almost anywhere in Europe. Besides we have rechargeable cards. You charge it with watever and whenever you want to spend. Is prepaid your only option in there?? I understand why this happens. Because your cellphones have the same numbers as a home "fixed phone" or wharetever you call it. In here cellphones have different prefixes and people know they are paying more to call them but whoever receives a call doesn't pay just for receiving.. It makes much more sense. I have a cellphone and I charge it with 7.5â(euro) and it takes months before I spend it. I don't use the cellphone much of course. And if I had to spend a lot more I wouldn't even have one. If I used it a lot I would probably have one tariff in which you charge it with 10â a month and you get unlimited calling/sms and 3G calls to whoever has the same tariff.
