DRM Videos on other devices

Aside from whether or not Steve is willing to allow this...

Hardware/Software-wise...

Does anyone think it is feasible that if Palm could work a deal with Apple to allow viewing the protected videos on a video-capable PDA like the TX,

that it would be a backwards-compatible software only update to existing PDAs?

Or is there a physical chip or ROM involved?

BUt having had to watch a teensy-tiny version of Lost (as a result of a Tivo mishap), I may continue to work on getting Tivo shows onto my laptop and just get a Nano. In all fairness, I have over-40 eyes, so those not relegated to bifocal land may enjoy the video ipod more than I.



Oh of course I suppose some morally ambiguous soul will eventually provide a hack and make this question moot. But I feel guilty swiping packs of sugar!

    I am sorry but I misread this and laughed out loud at the office.



    I believe that it is software thing not a hardware. So if Apple wanted to they could let any other player liscence the DRM software for eaither video or their audio.

    Do you have something against house flies owning an iPod?

    No. But I am happy that it is posting from New York City and not somewhere near here



    I think its time to plug some of the leaks in your nuclear and chemical plants...
