That's my understanding too, isaak. And ironically the open-source question highlights the need for a market presence: if the product doesn't have sufficient traction and a certain level of recognition, there's no incentive for open-source developers to spend any time on it.
I was hoping the firmware might get made over by a group like rockbox, but there doesn't seem to be much chance of that. And I certainly don't have the skills to do it, or contribute to it, myself.
