Posted in wrong thread but I'll mention it here. The txtr iPhone app supports Adobe DRM epub.
Also from what I've read you can use ADE epub files from the Sony line to the B&N Nook. However, until Adobe releases the B&N sdk to others which is supposed to be in the coming months, the other companies can't transfer from the Nook to them. Once they do you will be able to move drm epub back and forth from Sony (and other epub players) to B&N. So it's really only a small software change and Apple could easily join aboard since they use epub.
The nice thing about the iPhone OS is it's always under heavy development and can add complex additions that the hardware ereaders can't do (sort of like the Blu-ray player in a PS3 vs buying your 2nd or 3rd dedicated hardware player due to the constant profile updates. You get fixes but you can't add functionality.)
