Uhm, sorry, where's Nokia fault in all that? So both you and your friend have DRMed content which you find easy but there're no Nokia/Maemo players for this DRMed content on Nokia devices?
As soon as you've started getting your DRM stuff you have surrendered your freedom to chose hardware.
If you're happy with what you have, it's fine. But if you're now limited in hardware selection, whose fault is that?
