Meh; Steve Jobs says "we'll get rid of DRM if we could get away with it" and I, like some other folks, are pulling out the BS card.
iTunes doesn't make Apple much money. iPods make Apple a lot of money. If they got rid of the DRM on iTunes purchased music, they'd sell less iPods (because then you could play your iTunes downloaded songs on, say, superior MP3 player) and make less money. Sorry, but Apple benefit from the DRM system, and I put absolutely zero stock in the idea that Apple would like to get rid of it.
