Napster is embracing DRM free and have announced that they are going to shift their whole catalog to MP3 exclusively. This means that the largest on-demand subscription service will work on pretty much every MP3 player on the market. According to Napster they are the first in the market to go 100% MP3 and the unlimited music model will remain at the core of their business.

“Napster To Go is a portable subscription service and is supported by a wide array of device manufacturers including major mobile phone manufacturers, who are expected to ship new Napster To Go compatible handsets in 2008.”

We should get more information on availability soon, but hopefully this will force other providers into a similar move and end up in a level playing field with more competition.
