Now that the Cover Story is out, and the original hardware of the Story itself has been made obsolete by a newer model, I expect you're right.
iRiver as a company has a habit of changing its product line often (I've discovered since buying both a Story and a B30 mp3 player from iRiver), and simply abandoning owners of previous models with no further updates or patches of existing firmware. It's recently started a new partnership with LG, and is reportedly developing a whole new line of both ereaders and mp3 players, so I anticipate none of the current models of the Story will get any further development.
When my Story dies (which I expect will be relatively soon, even though it's only about six months old, as the battery life has just begun to get noticeably shorter on a weekly basis), I'm planning to look to a different brand for its replacement.
