2+ Gig Player W/Ogg Support?

So many sexy DAP's, but no ogg support.

The Rio Karma looks like it's being discontinued.
The Iriver H10 dosen't support ogg.

Is the Iaudio X5, M5, M3 the only solution?
Are there any players that support ogg with a firmware upgrade?
Any new players on the horizon?

I'd like to keep the cost around $200. I also use Linux so the DAP appearing as a harddrive is a big plus.
Thanks!

The Karma is already discontinued, as are all Rio products. Rockbox supports ogg, so any dap that has a version of Rockbox out (such as the H1x0 and 3x0 series) will support ogg if you change over to Rockbox. Like you said, all of Cowon's support ogg. I'm sure more are out there they're just escaping me at the moment.

iAudio U3 supports OGG. I'm pretty sure the new iAudio 6 will support OGG too.

I have a 2gb iAudio g3 and it supports OGG. I think they stopped support for the G3.

Edit: Dont let that scare you away from it though, its a great little player with tons of battery life.

iAudio U3 has Ogg - size up to 2GB (so far, I think 4Gb expected eventually)
iAudio U2 has Ogg as well, but I'm not sure if the biggest size of that model is 1GB or 2GB

2Gb maximum for the U2 as well.

It seems Iaudio is the way to go. I have a 512M G3 and it works great! Unfortunately, the backlight went out. It's still under warrenty. In the mean time I was thinking of getting another DAP. Especially since I've started using Q9 ogg which is taking up quite a bit of space.

Last night I wrote a Linux script that will copy a randomized selection of my whole music collection to the G3. This will give me an ever changing variety of music.
