not really...open formats are cool, but open source gives all those programmers out there a chance to give us open format readers for the device, and they can
create new software whenever the formats change...and make it free as well.
Sometimes I get the feeling that the best programmers out there are freelance/hobby programmers...all those guys that install linux on strange devices like Windows PDAs, PSPs and smartphones...of course it's more or less a waste of time, but think about what those guys can do and could do to create useful software for all of us...^^
