We are continually evaluating new devices and updating this list accordingly. If
your device is not listed here, it might not have been tested.
For a list of incompatible devices, click here.
Differences in device firmware (the software on which portable devices run) make
it possible for two similar devices to have different results in regard to compatibility.
Manufacturers often release firmware updates that may expand or limit device functionality.
We recommend checking with manufacturers for the latest information on device firmware
and file format support.
