I agree with earlier posters. We don't know for certain that the drm support will come to earlier devices. They might just get drm-free epub support. Of course I do hope we do get drm support.

I doubt Bookeen have signed this deal without thinking it through though. Some article that someone linked to on this site states that this deal with adobe costs $75,000 in licence fees. There is no way a company would pay that for something they are not sure they'll be using. So if they are paying the licence fees, there really is no doubt that they'll be using it in their products.

Also they said that this will arrive in the 1st quarter of 2009 which must mean it's arriving within the next 5 or 6 weeks. So we shouldn't have that long to wait.
