The Palm Pre is made by Apple. At least,that’s what it’s telling iTunes. Earlier this week, Apple issued an update that blocked the Pre from showing up in iTunes. Palm countered by updating the Pre to regain that access—by changing their USB vendor ID to “Apple.”

In just three days, from Friday to Sunday, Apple is reporting that over one million iPhone 3G Ss have been sold. Not only is that outstanding for a hardware update that offers only two real benefits (camera and improved processor/RAM), it is outstanding in that it sold many more than the Palm Pre on its opening weekend. The iPhone hardware update beat out the first run of the Palm Pre. Sure, the iPhone has had more time in the market, but the Pre was supposed to be highly anticipated. It doesn’t seem as if that it true anymore.
