Personally, I doubt they will. But only because I suspect Amazon's "long game" is to license the Kindle software to other hardware makers, and eventually get out of the hardware business (which they only got into to break out the Kindle store).

Most likely, a non-Amazon-sold device will be able to read the Kindle format as well as others like ePub, effectively solving the problem of a closed Kindle system. We'll see.
