A slide deck that shows some additional features of the Blackberry Storm appeared over the weekend. There was also a “dancing Storm” video that leaked out last week which greatly played up the Storm’s multimedia prowess. There’s only one slight problem. Even though the Storm is going to allow you to sync iTunes music – it won’t sync/play anything from iTunes with DRM. OK – you already knew that. Believe me there are lots of people who will miss that slide bullet point and wonder why their iPod music that they purchased over the last few years doesn’t sync to their new Storm. (Note: Just pretend for a minute that people buy music legally via iTunes and yeah, I totally agree that DRM in any form sucks). Of course the workaround for this issue is to remove the DRM from your tracks by burning all 15,000 of them to CD and then ripping them…. I’m just saying before you buy a Blackberry Storm thinking you’re going to have a seamless way to copy your iTunes music — be sure to read the fine print.
