It's been more than a month since I posted a question on the iRiver blog asking for news on when the Story's firmware would be updated. There was a previous post on the blog promising that there was "more to come" in features on the Story, to be delivered in future versions of the firmware, so I felt it was reasonable to ask for a timeframe. But there's been no further news, no further updates, and no reply to my question.

It's been more than a month since I logged a similar enquiry with the support team of the iRiver distributor in my country. They promised to get back to me within a day or so. I'm still waiting.

And it's been more than a fortnight since I logged a similar request with the support e.mail at the "international" iRiver website. I've yet to receive any kind of response.

This is disappointing. I was courteous, and made it clear I was asking as an iRiver Story owner.

The Cover Story has already had the original version of the OS software and two separate updates since it was first released just a few months ago. Does anyone else agree that we can probably now consider the iRiver Story an orphan?

:frown:
Actually, iRiver hasn't made too many improvements in terms of usability in Cover Story, except that it's been optimized for the touch screen. So I don't wonder why they haven't thought about "fixing" the original, when they don't know there's something to fix.
