You could wrestle with the nails until the cows come home and end up with split broken boards, and spirits. I use a sawsall. Just place the blade between the boards and cut the nails. If you don't have an electric, there is a small switchblade type one at a reasonable price, that would be a lot of work, but still not as bad as trying to remove the nails.
I love the "til the cows come home remark". I agree. I bought a cheap reciprocating saw just for this purpose. You can use a finishing nail to drive the nail piece back thru the wood if you want a pliers to pull it the rest of the way out once you have cut the nail. The cows still haven't come home at my house:)

There is no easy way to remove all of those nails in pallets. Cutting between the would be my best advice.
