PlaysForSureWhen Microsoft announced that they were going to have a separate DRM encryption for Zune than PlaysForSure last year, we figured that meant the end PlaysForSure.  Actually, they still rolling out new DRM systems based on PFS - probably an attempt for the PFS folks to keep their jobs.  The new DRM, called PlayReady, brings your typical PlaysForSure to cellphones and smartphones.  PlayReady will be provided to network providers like Verizon and Cingular (AT&T) to support their music stores.  Will regular PlaysForSure songs work on your mobile with this new system?  We have no idea at this point, but we’re expecting to hear more as the week progresses at 3GSM.
