Too many to list here, but see (not entirely up to date):

The next revision of Firefox (3.5) will include Vorbis (and Theora) support integrated with the browser.

== Competing devices with Ogg Vorbis support out of the box ==

See above. It's not clear what Nokia may consider as competing devices, but notable examples include:

* [http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/g1-with-google-phone/specs/ T-Mobile G1]
* Archos [http://www.archos.com/products/imt/archos_7/specs.html?country=ca&lang=en 5] & [http://www.archos.com/products/imt/archos_7/specs.html?country=ca&lang=en 7]
* Garmin nüvi [http://www.garmin.com/manuals/nuvi5000_ENOwnersManual.pdf 5000] and [http://www8.garmin.com/ces/nuvi800/index.html 800] series.
* Several Samsung phones (eg [http://www.samsung.com/me/products/mobilephones/gsm/sgh_i320.asp SGHi320], [http://www.samsung.com/sec/news/newsRead.do?news_group=productnews&news_type=consumer&news_ctgry=mobilephone&news_seq=231 SPH-S4300], [http://www.samsung.com/uk/news/newsRead.do?news_group=productnews&news_type=consumerproduct&news_ctgry=mp3&news_seq=11024&search_keyword=&from_dt=&to_dt= Q1 Diamond] and [http://www.samsung.com/uk/news/newsRead.do?news_group=productnews&news_type=consumerproduct&news_ctgry=mobilephone&news_seq=10925 i900 Omnia])
* Many many media players by Cowon/iAudio, iRiver, SanDisk, Samsung and others.

== Good will ==

* Ogg Vorbis support is the oldest open enhancement request on the Maemo bugzilla, as well as the one with the largest number of votes (over three times as many as the next one as of 2008-12-22).
