Universal hasn't said if the trials apply to their whole catalogue or just a subset of their artists. Knowing Universal, it will not be the whole catalogue. I wonder how happy their artists are, knowing their music will not be sold DRM-free on the largest online digital music store. Apple probably doesn’t want to participate in limited trials anyway.

If they are DRM free they should play on iPods and iPhones just fine. I would imagine they aren't with iTunes because they want to charge more per song than Apple is willing to charge. They'll end up charging a crazy amount of money, not selling any music, then using that as an excuse, saying customers don't want DRM free music.
