According to iriver, the T30 is an MTP device in Europe and North
America, but a UMS device everywhere else, and the firmware is available
in both versions.  UMS is a generic usb storage device, MTP is

Here is iriver's answer on how to concert your device to UMS (you will
need to find someone with a windows machines to do this of course):
