Nokia has decided to take on Microsoft’s assistance with their protection software that allows users to boost their usage of various wireless entertainment like music and videos etc. They are set to license Microsoft's PlayReady digital rights management (DRM) technology that Nokia will incorporate into all their new S60 phone models. It’s also a possibility that the same software will also be included in the S40 range as well. But it seems like these two giants in their respective fields have been working things out for a while now since we last saw the Windows Media player on to Nokia phones. And hopefully with the possibility of Nokia launching an online music and content store things are only looking up for both companies. "This is a new thing and developing at a rapid clip. Can it get better and move to the mainstream? Absolutely. Nokia and Microsoft, being large influential companies, are trying to push the ball forward," Chadd Knowlton, general manager for content access and protection at Microsoft, told Reuters. "Mobile television, that's going to be much more mainstream than today's entertainment features," Knowlton said. Microsoft and Nokia said they would also work together to enhance and simplify consumer access to digital content using mobile devices. For more information check out Engadget. |
