the DRM thing is completely seperate, you can chose to have DRM or not as an author, but that has nothing to do with simultaneous device usage which is set by the publisher. Amazon is your publisher if you use their system to publish your books.

edit to add:
Amazon Kindle phone support:
Amazon Kindle customer service: 1-866-321-8851
I am aware of their stance on it--and they will NOT tell you if a book has DRM or not if you ask. BUT that said, it can be an indicator. Amazon doesn't actively promote a list or way to tell if a book has DRM. There is really nothing in it for them and they aren't trying to make it public knowledge. So the Unlimited thing does mean multiple things, but I believe it also means no DRM.
