I believe I may have figured out a better way to perform the update which verifies the integrity of the USB drive or SD card and has the user rename the downloaded update file using the Pocket Edge or Edge itself. This ensures no gray area as to whether the Edge recognizes the USB drive or SD card and the Edge displays the entire file name including the extension so the user knows the file name is correct. Another user PMed me and I told him to give it a try and he said it works:

1. Copy the downloaded update file to the root directory a USB drive or SD card formatted FAT32.
2. Make sure the eDGe is On and insert the USB drive or SD card.
3. Open ES File Explorer. Apps - ES File Explorer.
4. In the left hand corner press the Icon that looks like an SD card.
5. Scroll down and open either the sdcard or usb0 (or usb1 for full size eDGe) folder.
6. Press and hold the downloaded upgrade file until the Operations menu pops up.
7. Select Rename and rename the file update.zip
8. Turn Off the eDGe.
9. While holding down the MENU and ROTATE buttons on the LCD side of the device, slide or press the POWER switch. Do NOT release the MENU and ROTATE buttons.
10. CONTINUE to hold the MENU and ROTATE buttons down.
11. After about 1 minute or less you should see an "Updating software" splash screen at which point you can release the MENU and ROTATE buttons.
12. After about 5 minutes or less the device will reboot and will be running the Ermine BETA build.
