I didn't get anything else regarding this matter. I still won't answer your question, to avoid causing traffic. Since this was kind of a buried question, I thought I would answer it.

Okay, got our dealer unit today. it had an older version of the software on it so I attempted to update. I was successful in updating to 1.06 build 28. I was then informed that I had to register in order to update to 1.1 NO problem. filled out the form. Hmmmm, zip code is a numeric field. Canadian postal codes are alpha numeric. No problem, plugged in a usb keyboard and was able to enter correct info. the first time, got registration successful. However, when I goto software update now, I get informed that I must register first with a blank form again. I have tried again but now I get registration error: registered. Wonder if I can download 1.1 through another method and install manually. I suspect I am stuck until MOnday but after about an hour and a half of playing with this unit, I love it and think I just might have to find the money to buy a personal one. This is a very cool device. I just loaded a bunch of mp3 tunes and text books on it and am going to go and play with those now. If anyone knows of a way around this registration thing, I would appreciate it. Btw. How do I find the serial number on the older firmware. on the new version, it is in the status menu but not on here. Suspect I will need it if I have to call on MOnday. Brian.
