Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the Palantir was more or less a communication device, so that one person could see and hear another person, but only if they had a Palatir also.
I did not think it worked like Galadriel's mirror, showing images of current, future, or past events.
When Pippin looks in the Palatir at Orthanc, doesn't Sauron think that Saruman made him look in the Palatir to reveal himself, kinda like making Pippin "pick up the phone and say something"?
