No hardware manufacturer will see any reason to include prc at all. Why should they since both pdf and epub are much more easier to handle? And Adobe would just be silly to try this exclusivity stunt as well.

Note that the alternatives are certainly not "free". Eg, a device manufacturer has to pay US$75k per year in order to use ePub with Adobe DRM on a device. That's nothing to a big company like Sony, but it's a hefty up-front payment for a small company like Bookeen.
