Uhm, the list of companies that make "OSS-friendly" embedded platforms is not very long. Currently, ASUS is high on my list of interesting vendors; for how long, remains to be seen. Once upon a time, I had hopes that Sony will see the light, and those hopes were based on PS support for other OS's. I chose my reader with high hopes that OpenInkpot will end up running on that device. I was wrong, QED.
I don't "whine" about Sony practices. They are free to do whatever they please, as long as it is legal. I reserve right to warn others against repeating my mistakes, though.
