It depends on what the license actually says. I don't know if it says that supporting Mobipocket at all has to be exclusive, or just supporting Mobipocket DRM. My understanding is that there are other devices that support non-DRM Mobipocket along with some other DRM format.

I don't think anyone outside of the Manufacturers has ever seen the Mobipocket licensing terms, but it could be based on DRM, not the format in general. I'd be interested in reading it, if you've seen any links to it anywhere.
