If you look at the iPod Touch and hwere the connectors are, you'll see that they are different then before. I've seen some of the add-on battery chargers that won;t allow you to listen to the Touch while charging. Apple changes the hardware enough that somethings no longer work.

Sony created the 500 before De and it turns out it won't run mobile DE. It was not a decision on Sony's part to make the 500 not work with DE.
