What does it mean for you when the USB Implementer’s Forum tells Palm that they should stop spoofing an iPod in order to get their Palm Pre to sync with iTunes? What should you do now? A couple things.

First, you should be safe in continuing to use iTunes as your music organization library. You’ll still be able to sync your playlists onto your Pre using one of the apps we detailed here. It’s not guaranteed that direct iTunes sync will break in the future, since Palm might still be able to find some kind of workaround; but even if they don’t, you have multiple ways of doing it yourself. If you want to be safe, you could just switch over to one of these other library management solutions now, and not have to worry about iTunes anymore. [Gizmodo]
