I wrote to  and they confirmed 
that the firmware in the Flashman could be 
updated to new codecs via the RS-232 port. 
Their reply indicated that they continue to 
evaluate new encoding technologies, but that 
their product offering is driven by market
demand as much as by technology.

In other words, when a newer codec is widely
accepted by recordists, Mayah will upgrade to
stay competitive.  My guess is that we'll see
MPEG-4 AAC added before we see new MP3 codecs
in the Flashman.
