I completely agree. Hopefully we will see more free content in the coming year and see it flourish on free/copyleft hardware behind the content just stored on the memory of mostly proprietary devices. Without copyleft hardware, the proprietary bits will eventually lead to a ghettoization of free content forced to live outside the warm gates of locked down app store...
