Palm’s Jon Rubinstein and Roger McNamee of Elevation Partners talked with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher at D7 conference. In the video above they talk about new Palm Pre and Demos the device.

Jon Rubinstein talks about his time at Apple and said “I worked with Steve for many years and learned a tremendous amount from him, the value of user experience and design – taste. I also learned the idea of great marketing… On the engineering side, I helped create the engineering culture at Apple so obviously, the engineering culture at Palm bears some similarities to it.”

In the demo of Palm Pre they showed Synergy, multiple apps and MP3 player that includes Amazon’s MP3 Store. The surprise of the demo was when the Pre was connected with computer via USB it was able to do “media sync” with iTunes. Pre can sync everything except Apple’s DRM protected media. Jon said that Pre would be able to sync with iPhoto also.

It will be interesting to see what Apple’s reaction will be to Palm using their software for media sync feature in Pre.
