The president of Napster spoke to the BBC, and said Apple boss Steve Jobs has "tricked people into buying a hardware trap" as iTunes songs can only be taken away and played on an iPod.

Not entirely correct, as you can burn them to CD (although I think there are restrictions on what you can and can't, and how many times). And why does it matter that you can only play them on an iPod and not on your flash based MP3 player too? Why would you want to carry or buy a second device to carry around, if you already have your iPod? He's right that it's more restrictive than some of the other DRM offerings, but it's not as bad as he makes out. I still prefer to buy CDs, they're better quality audio and you can play them in anything with a CD player/drive.
