No matter how long I hold down "menu" and "rotate," though, I'm not getting an "Update software" screen. When I release them (after 2 minutes of holding them down), it boots up like normal and I'm still running 1.6.

Any advice?

Also, I'm wondering if I will be able to access Adobe DRM files without registering this through the now-defunct Entourage site. I know I can strip DRM, but I'd kinda hoped I wouldn't have to with this device.
Are you absolutely sure you have named it update.zip? If you are using windows without changing the default 'don't show extensions' and you renamed the file update.zip then you will have update.zip.zip on the USB stick. If that is the case just rename the file to update delete the one on the USB stick and recopy the file, then try again.
1. insert USB stick.
2. hold down buttons.
3. turn on power.
4. wait - it may take longer than you think.

Re the adobe DRM problem, search the forum, there are a couple of recent threads about just that.
