"It seems designed to lock you in to AAC and QuickTime formats"
You mean that AAC format that's open source and freely usable, or that quicktime format that's just a file wrapper that was also used as the basis for the MP4 standard with the consent and permission of Apple..?
Wow, you are seriously misinformed.
If Palm could be bothered to write their own sync application, they could easily hook into the library XML file that's freely available on every machine that has iTunes, that acts as the catelogue and library database of your music. They chose not too. They chose to try and leverage the ease of use of iTunes and try and imply this was with the approval and compliance of Apple. Fail.
