How does anyone at RIM think this is a good idea?

It could be the desparate urge for revenue.

I give them props for trying to expand their horizons, but I'm not sure they're going to succeed considering their primary market is the corporate world and not too many people are going to hop on board with this bullet point added to their list of features when there are better devices for music.

It's unfortunate that RIM will soon ship it's first QNX phones with NO BES support, and reinventing Napster is their priority.

Meh why not ? The worst they can do is fail miserably.
