I'm pretty sure it only DRM's your songs when you transfer them via wi-fi for that (kindof silly) 3-day trial deal... even if it DRM'd every song you transfer to the device... uhhhh... well you still have a copy of it on your HD non-drm'd ;) Some panicky folks here.
I think this thing has a chance to be popular.. there are a lot of people who love to hate the iPod because it's popular... but still (hipocritically) want to be part of some major brand and haven't invested in SanDisk or Creative or whatever.
Plus the wi-fi will attract some geeks, as well as the new MS fanboys created by the fairly succesful Xbox and XBox 360.
Personally I'll keep my 5g iPod and wait for version 3.. always safe with any MS product ;)
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
