There are dozens. A quick google search came up with an advertisement for mp3 players: http://www.bumblesmp3players.co.uk/mp3_players/portable_m... which marks the ones with ogg vorbis support. (Note: not an endorsement of the linked-to company; I'm merely using them as a random example.) I'm not even sure how up-to-date that list is. With the recent release of a cheap single-chip vorbis decoder, expect more and more devices to provide ogg support.

BTW, although the article didn't mention it, the Internet Archive's live music collection may well be the largest single collection of ogg vorbis files in the world. Certainly the largest fully-legal collection. :)
