Apples and oranges? There are big differences between respective mp3 players as to the user interface and control elements, not to mention that the display is usually very small and the UI limited. It's a single purpose device. Nobody needs to write apps for them (you might object about ipod touch, but that's more of a pda).
But liseuses are gradually starting to resemble pdas or even umpcs (just imagine the possibilities when they start having inet connectivity). There's a great potential for 3rd-party applications for liseuses, just like on Windows Mobile or iPhone OSX or Android - calendar, notes, email client, web browser, contacts, file browser, viewers and so on ad infinitum. With a single OS all of these could be device independent and so have a wider user-base.
