It’s been almost three months without a firmware update, with no new one in sight. The only update since January has been a Korean firmware update (1.40 K), which doesn’t add anything useful, though some users claim a slight improvement in sound quality.iRiver has responded to email from a forum user stating that the recording features were only ever intended for voice and casual recording uses, and that they are unlikely to improve. Add this to the fact that iRiver is now introducing subsequent models, it seems unlikely that ihp-120 and 140 owners will see any real improvement in functionality.
