Please, someone prove me wrong.
But then how many of the early adopters of this sort of thing aren't geeks? Except Sony who has a strong position in the consumer electronics market, you aren't going to find these other devices on the shelves at your local Best Buy. If they can get some sort of momentum going with the geek gadget crowd and can move beyond it, then maybe it would be time to invest in adding DRM support.
