It's worth a court test now that Palm has demonstrated "intent". Waiting for comments from the legal blogs.

Although the agreement is a bit of a stretch, a litigious company like Apple might use this as the basis of a trademark or other kind of deceptive business practice law suit, based on Palm "pawning off" their product as being from Apple. From a lawyer's point of view, it would be fascinating.

Also, you forgot to mention that Palm is fudging into this grey area specifically because it thinks that Apple's use of the Vendor ID is this manner is inappropriate. We'll see how this all plays out.

Hmmm. The manufacturer shows up as Palm, Inc. The vendor ID shows up as Apple, but what does the term 'vendor ID' really mean to a typical consumer?
