> chances are that it would be a raging commercial success

I'm afraid that I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. The iPod is a "raging commercial success," and it has none of the openness that you (and I) would like. (I own an iPod, btw.) The developers of such a beast might be able to make a living, but the population of people who'd want one is much smaller than we (as people on the inside of that population, looking out) would believe.
