Samsung's launching a Napster-branded iPod competitor, with more features, like a line-in jack, and an FM receiver and transmitter.

Now, if they're stupid, they'll cripple this so it only really works with Crapster. If they're smart, they won't - and people will buy it, and promptly forget it has anything to do with Napster. But at least Napster will have bought some kind of small consumer share that way - rather than making people even unhappier than it's already done by going corporate.
