I know most people here aren't happy with DRM and so here is an article where various devices were tested to come up with this result

Tests find DRM shortens player battery life by up to ~25%

25% less playing time for players that use Microsoft's WMA 10 DRM tracks.

But just 8% less playing time for iPods playing Apple's iTMS AAC tracks.

Another plus point for the iPod there then!

The test is flawed but hey, if it bash DRM, then way to go
