They have no incentive to make Mobipocket available anymore to other e-reading devices since they probably feel (and rightly so IMHO) that a cheaper device will canabalize sales of the Kindle.
As I understand it, anyone can implement Mobi on their reading device. There's a standard development kit available to implement it. All you have to do is stump up the fee for it, and agree to exclusivity (you're not allowed to implement any other DRM format on your device).
