Motorola Inc. announced on Monday that it is set to include Microsoft's Windows Media Digital Rights Management (DRM) software on upcoming multimedia phones. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), during Chief Executive Ed Zander's keynote speech. Supporting Windows Media DRM opens up Motorola phones to music from many online music download stores.
Mobile phones with music playback capabilities have yet to enter the same "spotlight" as items such as items such as Apple's iPod. However, Finnish mobile phone giant Nokia revealed that last year the company sold almost 40 million multimedia phones in total and nearly 70 million music phones.
