DRM - What Is It Good For? Delaying the N91!

[Ewan]

Nokia has confirmed the N91 Music Phone, initially due out for Christmas 2005 has been delayed due to isses with the Music DRM (reports The Register). As the N91 launch date continues to slip (and starts to get a whiff of vapour ware), the Sony Ericsson Walkman phone from 3GSM is starting to look more and more attractive. Not least because its 4gig of memory is in flash, while the N91 runs off a 'miniature' hard drive.

So why isnt the walkman phone under the same DRM rules??

I want MS-DRM for other handsets, not just the N91. I have a 6682 that I really really want MS-DRM on.

I think they were trying to get the whole o/s on to the harddrive, instead of o/s on flash and file storage on th harddrive. This was the holdup from what I heard.

By the time the N91 ships few will be interested in buying it. Can you say vaporware?
