What the problem here was, is that the contract the software developers have to sign, says that the software can't "emulate" the iPhone functions, which effectively limits web browers and media players publishing on the platform. I'm quite sure Opera, for example, would be quick to take issue further. @Jo21: In a sense, iTunes limiting their content to Apple products isn't that much different from music stores that use WMA as their format of choice. In any case, the talk was about DSi and DRM. Whether it can play songs from iTunes or not, is rather irrelevant with can it play AAC with DRM. |
but WMA DRM is support by more brands and not limited to Ipod while AAC itunes DRM wasn't.
the point was risen due many people saying everybody itunes as the main store, and thats not really true before, before it could not play itunes DRMed AAC only UnDRMed.
neither amazon undrmed Mp3s.
limiting the options of purchases.
