Nokia to tuck in Microsoft DRM software into S60 cell phone
By
Mobile phone giant Nokia will start to use Microsoft’s copy protection software to boost the use of wireless entertainment, like music and videos, the two companies said Monday.
Nokia, the world’s largest cell-phone maker, will license Microsoft’s PlayReady digital rights management (DRM) technology, and build it into its S60 software, the most widely used software platform in the cell-phone industry. Nokia’s S60 software, built on U.K.-based Symbian’s operating system, is used extensively in Nokia’s lineup, but also in advanced cell phones of LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics.
