Cell phone maker Nokia will use Microsoft's copy protection software to boost the use of wireless entertainment, like music and videos, the two companies said today.

Microsoft's technology allows users of Nokia cell phones to share protected pieces of content (music, games or videos) between phones, PCs and other devices.

Nokia, the world's largest cell phone maker, will license Microsoft's PlayReady digital rights management (DRM) technology, and build it into its S60 software, the most widely used software platform in the cell-phone industry.

Nokia's S60 software, built on UK-based cell phone software firm Symbian's operating system, is used extensively in Nokia's line-up, but also in advanced cell phones of LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics.

Its closest rival is Microsoft's own Windows Mobile, but analysts said the deal should benefit both.
