When will the RAZR MAXX be able to play DRM content?

[mgeissal]

I can't sync DRM protected content to my DROID RAZR MAXX, although I could to my DROID 2. While searching this forum I found the following post:

Transfer Pictures / Videos - DROID RAZR / RAZR MAXX by MOTOROLA  

Only DRM free / unprotected video can be transferred via this method. DRM protected content will not play on this device

.

Why? Is this a permanent condition?

What kind of content played on your Droid 2 that won't on the Razr?  I'm pretty sure that no Android player will play DRM'd music, such as those from iTunes.  You will have to get the non-DRM'd. That's really an Apple call, not a Android one.

From the Microsoft compatability website I find:

Motorola Droid X Smartphone

Motorola Droid Smartphone

Motorola droid 2 SmartPhone

Motorola Droid Pro Smartphone

all listed as "certified as PlaysForSure devices by Microsoft"

and I can attest that I was able to sync a digital copy of "STAR TREK" from Paramount, from the Blue-Ray with digital download I purchased and loaded on my PC, onto my DROID 2 without  any problems.

The Microsoft compatability site lists 21 Android devices from multiple manufacturers that CAN play DRM protected content.

Why is the DROID RAZR MAXX not in that list?

Ah, so you're talking video not audio.   Afraid I don't know about that. I assume you've tried looking through the Market for a compatible player app - just in case Microsoft's list is not up to date?   Otherwise you might try posting on Motorola's Droid Razr forum if know one knows here.
