| == Consumer products that support Vorbis natively ==
| | Hardware support status for Ogg Vorbis is relatively good, you can choose between a huge number of mobile flash players, many HDD based players and a respectable number of Hi-Fi components. More than 50 different companies offer a total of more than a hundred products for virtually every application, there is even a knife that can play Ogg Vorbis now ;-). If you can't find a suitable player come back next week -- new products are added on a weekly basis, as many companies are working to support Vorbis on their hardware. |

| |
| Pontis announced in the middle of 2002 that they would ‘soon’ release
| |
| a firmware upgrade to allow their SP600 portable player to play Vorbis files.
| |
| Unfortunately, after 18 months of silence, Pontis finally decided (in November 2003)
| |
| that a firmware upgrade for the SP600 was not possible, due to CPU and memory constraints.

This technology can be integrated into portable players or cell phones, and since it runs at only 12MHz, it uses very little battery power. It supports files up to 64Kb/s, but could be scaled to 16MHz and 128Kb/s, at the expense of battery life.
