CDgOGG - Bitrate peeler from iRiver?

Look at this page
http://www.iriver.com/company/news_view.asp?idx=364

Is this going to be a peeler or just a transcoding program. If second, why does it take so much time to develop it?

By the way, does anybody understand what do iRiver mean by 96Kbps ~ 360Kbps?
96 are bad news, but I would like to know is 360kbs
1. max bitrate used in the encoded file? (what a crap :-( )
2. average bitrate of encoded file?
Ogg Vorbis for music and speech [q-2.0 - q6.0]
FLAC for recordings to be edited
Speex for speech

I understand it as 96AvKbps to 360AvKbps or as Q2 to Q9(+40?) ...
I would have wished it could go much lower ...
for high bitrate there was hardware issues, but why can't it handles very low bitrates ?

Does it means that it is "optimized" starting at Q2 or does it means that it can't handles "at all" ogg below Q2 ?

Some of IRiver hardware are supposed to have voice recording feature ... & for this use if I buy one, I was already planning to use vorbis at 40NKbps so I am a bit surprised ... & even disapointed if 96 min is confirmed ...

Agreed..  I use low Q and/or mono for spoken word stuff or recording a show off air that I may only listen to once (but for 2 hours worth it is worth saving some space)
