There was the same type of FUD about iTunes Music, but all along Jobs wanted the DRM stripped out... and he finally got his way. Perhaps i'm not a political geek, because i've got over 5,000 songs purchased from Apple. (maybe being an AAPL stockholder helps).

BTW, as an example of the cool stuff available for iPhone/iPod touch users, i must highly recommend Star Walk. (i'm not affiliated with the author in any way, so this isn't spam). This app is just amazing. I got it for 2.99 around December, and the price appears to still be 2.99 today... but it may not stay that low.

Just check out this demo video at YouTube (umm, Flash required):

VITO Technology for iPhone



On the iPad's large screen that will probably look incredible.
