He wants DRM just as much as anyone. No DRM would hurt iTunes sales to the non-iTunes fanboys that would file-share they heck out of their half-witted "music" (too small to have real CD quality). Also, I'm sick of the MAC commercials with the "hip" guy (looks like he smokes Marijuana or something) and the guy who looks like he's supressing his gayness or secretly has tons of kiddie porn on his "computer," if he could figure out how to play it. Look at the iPhone: more DRM crap than anything and only good enough for ONE cell carrier. And, I'll best the phone does everything great, as long as MAC compatible, except make a phone call! Pixar: Jobs had no problem selling out his creative team to Disney for billions. LOL Just like Bill Gates likes to lock his sheep into his Zune Marketplace using his Zune. Yea right! I don't see Microsoft's record being exactly too consumer friendly either. All these U.S. Corporations are all the same at the end of the day. The Mac commercials are a matter of personal preference. I don't like the Sony Bravia commercials but that doesn't mean lots of other people feel the same way. Apple's Mac campaign must of had some success since they've sold a record number in the past year. As for the iPhone, since it hasn't been released yet, I don't think any judgment calls can be made until it's final release. The DRM crap you talk about (I presume you mean locked?) is on most every other Mobile Phone. As for choosing Cingular, well since GSM is a World Standard and CDMA is mainly U.S. only, it wasn't a bad decision at the end of the day.
