Savant, I see that you have already covered the nuts and bolts of standards. I should learn to read new posts while I am writing my own responses! LOL JimC

<<So, to our specific case..if we have a great way to handle flash memory usage..a small OS/file managment segment..that is patented (by the way)..why reinvent the wheel?...why not just give license us, give us a nice little royalty, and get on with the business of building things..which is what the manufacturers do?...>> I agree with the why reinvent the wheel. The product is good, and companies will be willing to pay for that. I know a fair amount about OS's. The more I think about the functions in these devices more I agree a OS standard will be needed. Not so much in the first generation of player. But as the devices get more complex and the functions on the players and the file types expand, a standard interface to write the functions to will be needed.
