The Nokia Internet Tablets don't have ogg support out of the box, but you can listen audio in this format by installing third party software. There is a feature request to have Ogg support in the tablets out of the box, see Bug #176: Support for OGG Vorbis / Theora missing.

There has been some work by community members enabled by the release of the DSP toolchain on the the Texas Instruments TMS320C55x DSP being released to the public, but essential proprietary components are still licensed and under NDA by TI in the form of the Code Composer Studio IDE. Simon Pickering has, nonetheless, developed a working audio decoder using the DSP on a Nokia N810.
