Take that Apple! Palm strikes back ... Once more.

This time, it is Palm's turn to reestablish its smartphone's connection to Cupertino's media management software. So, with webOS 1.2.1, Pre users can once again synchronize media (video, pictures, music) with their device.

That is until Apple next iTunes update.

The latest webOS firmware also addresses some problems experienced by Pre users in an Exchange 2007 setting.

The official Palm blog reads:

If you use certain configurations of Exchange 2007, you may have experienced some problems syncing your EAS email with your Palm Pre after updating to webOS 1.2. That issue has been fixed with the release of webOS 1.2.1 for Sprint customers -- you'll automatically receive an over-the-air update in the next few days. For additional information about webOS 1.2.1, you can find the release notes here. This release also re-enables the ability of Palm media sync to work with the current version of iTunes.

The cat and mouse game between Apple and Palm continues.
