Tech/Engineering - Media / Multimedia / MP3 Player
English term or phrase: Firmware Upgradeable
In a list of features of an MP3 player:

- MP3/WMA Playback
- FM Stereo Tuner & Recording
- High Quality Voice Recording
- Direct Encoding
- Plug & Play
- Mass Storage
- Unlimited Folder Support
- **Firmware Upgradeable**

What's the German equivalent of "Firmware Upgradeable"? I have searched on google and it seems to be used in German, too. But then all the German sites that use it also use a really bad German and I don't want to trust them. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Explanation:
firmware findet man oft als Firmware. Upgradable lässt sich sicher eher verdeutschen. Oben sind zwei Möglichkeiten. Viel Spass.
