"The multiple levels of security provided by the multimedia device can create a synergistic effect, enabling a media content provider to set a desired level of security for their media files before the files can be stored on the multimedia device.

It's not just about a predetermined file format and allowing higher level OS's not to interface, but more importantly, they can enhance the data segments as well."

IMO, having the ability to enhance in that fashion with multi level security.....they can allow the higher level OS's the interface.

"This security can enable new opportunities to open, allowing convenience for customers and new markets for multimedia companies."

My thinking is "open source" on any device, as long as your willing to implement the "e.Digital controller".
