Yes, they can keep the DRM at the level of propietary software, no problem here.
I agree that iRex team seems more enthusiast about linux that, er, Sony. It took one year to crack into the librie (japanese hackers, there are not) and there was no clue of a decent X server inside nor any communication tool (the hacker entering there did a tunnel across USB, no ppp avalaible neither).
In fact while I expect we iReX will not raise issues about programming the machine, the trick we are using to activate the network can cause some headaches to Sony... as far as I know, acrobat reader also complies the \Launch specification of pdf. So perhaps we are causing a shipping delay... for the Sony Reader.
