Sorry, but another bad analogy. The only way to make that one work is if the theater had a table where you could fill out a form saying that you were a college student, even if you weren't, and then you could get the discount.

Sorry, how is that a bad analogy? To qualify for student prices you need to be able to present an NUS card. If I forged a card and presented it, I could probably pass myself off as a student and get the discount. But I don't do that because I'm not a cheap bastard, unlike Palm.....

So they're seemingly happy to pretend to be an iPod so they don't have to pay someone to write some software.
