Then the T10 2GB was released with a new firmware version, 1.71, that added no new features but was locked against UMS conversions. After a collective roar from users, and potential customers who would not consider buying the 2GB without ability to convert to UMS, iriver suddenly changed the updater to recognize the T10 2GB's formerly 'locked' firmware.
History and habit indeed, when there is enough demand for something they do tend to listen and respond.

lol the Tx0 series isn't old. The MTP<->UMS switch was even made for the U10.

Email this to iriver about getting new firmware for the clix. They will probably take ideas for their new players too so it's better to tell them what needs to be improved before releasing a new player.
