As if the hype around the Pre weren't already enough, the iPhone may be losing part of their competitive edge to the Palm device in an area that no few other smartphones no MP3 players have: iTunes.

Venturebeat claims to have word from an unnamed source within Google's Android development team that Apple asked them not to include multitouch technology in their mobile OS, which Google agreed to. The source claims that Google didn't want to strain their relationship with Apple, especially given the hints of a legal smack-down between Apple and Palm.
