I'd say it stands a decent chance of supporting a bunch of formats
eventually. Remember this thing is built on Apollo, and you can build
your Apollo app with HTML. Maybe Apollo won't support HTML pages with
plugins (except for Flash) at launch, but it would be in their best
interest to render webpages as they appear in your browser, which means
bringing in Quicktime support and others.
Just speculation though!

My guess is ... not too much.
My take on it: It's just a glorified FLV player that talks to various
video services and can be branded. It obviously can only deal with
services that share up FLV files. If it were a full "Media Player"
in the sense of being platform and format agnostic, then Adobe
would have something to shake a stick at.
I'm not quite sure what the big deal is really supposed to be. Maybe
there's more going on behind the scenes, but it looks to me like
something a few advanced flex/flash developers could knock out in a
couple weeks, or less.
my 0.02.
