Maemo 6 DRM locked?
 
Just seen this slide http://www.umpcportal.com/wp-content...ture_00075.jpg

The slide came via UMPC, but doesn't expand on it.

Is this restricting or just allowing drm files?

This just allows DRM files to be played, and might mean Ovi Music support, or stuff in Silverlight (provided there is Silverlight support). IOW compatibility reasons.

It does not imply you suddenly don't own your device anymore. It merely means Windows Media DRM works out of the box.

Although I do wonder how they're gonna avoid tampering. Because DRM can always be circumvented.

Probably means it has drm mechanisms in place that meet standards for playing that drm file. Not that it would block you from non drm files.

Absolutely. All you need to do is play it once the 'legit' DRM way, then resample the audio stream to another format. Poof...DRM gone bye bye!

I buy all my digital music from Amazon anyway.

It was to be expected. For a while now, Nokia has been saying that Maemo doesn't support DRM "yet".

But it's a pity. There was a chance for Nokia to endorse alternative music models here. If iTunes can successfully sell DRM-free songs, why not Nokia?

Yes, agreed, 'yet'.

Although nowhere does it say its only for Ovi Music.

I want DRM and Silverlight (or Mono) on my Maemo device because I want to see broadcasts of e.g. football and olympics while traveling. For the rest, I won't use it.

Read this and thought great, but then just read the a comment on the summit blog about an open or closed mode for networks, whatever that is, in Maemo 6?!

The phone companies (if you were asking what "networks" meant in that sentence).
