I love the form factor of the Jetbook, but without some DRM support I don't see it going 'mainstream' for a while. Then again, perhaps they are happy with their current sales projections and don't want to be 'mainstream,' or perhaps they are waiting till the DRM dust settles to jump in.

Most people here at MR are tech savvy enough to handle a device without DRM. But you take the average person and nope, it just doesn't work that way.
