[gui-talk] A book sense question:

[Rick Alfaro]

Right, I know exactly what you mean.  If WMA with DRM is your reason for 
switching, I would wait until they come out with the rom upgrade and 
then make your move.  I'm thinking of doing the same thing but have 
decided to wait for at least the first update.  another good reason to 
wait is because I don't have the money right now.  (grin)
