Actually I am not claiming that fairplay is better than WMA DRM. I am taking issue with the CEO's comments that Nokia is going the 'open route'. For my use, fairplay is OK. I don't purchase any music from iTunes, but if I did I already own an iPod, I own a Mac, and on my windows machine I use iTunes - so it wouldn't be a problem. With WMA DRM, I can't use anything I may buy on my Nokia phone on my mac - period.
If nokia is going for open, then let them go DRM-free.
