Just like WMV and RealMedia never became the standard for protable digital music devices. WMV is from the big bad company, and no matter how powerful, it didn't stand a chance. RealMedia got punched to the ground because of their own stupid act to throw in every imaginable ad into their program.
While MP3 had free convertors and players (winamp)
Yes, that is exactly why BBeB will never be a standard. That's why they should have picked someone else's (device independent) DRM format (like Mobipocket) and used it instead of developing their own.
