This past week at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Microsoft announced their very own DRM format for cell phones called PlayReady. It seems that Microsoft might just be planning something big with this Zune phone after all. According to ITWire, “PlayReady promises to be compatible with Windows Media DRM 10 and the PlaysForSure DRM format. Microsoft will also provide an interoperability program so content may be transferred to “qualifying DRM and content protection technologies - which means it could be compatible with Microsoft’s new Zune MP3 player.”
