According to Evolver.fm, Pono will launch in 2013. It involves a bespoke Pono player that Young briefly showed during an interview on David Letterman in 2012.

According to Evolver.fm, Pono files will play on any digital audio device, just at a lower sound quality (i.e. something like what most of us listen to today). In other words, you should be able to load the songs up on your iPhone or similar � they will just lack the amped-up sound that made you go with Pono in the first place.
