Actually, here's a little secret (attention, insider's info!): the DRM-capable firmware is already ready and waits the final the "OK" from Adobe. Right now it is with Adobe, at their final review.
Everything was not that simple: the guys in Ukraine ADDED a lot of new features to the 'bare' DRM-support (they asked me not to tell yet which), actually, ENHANCING the initial thing. Adobe was surprised, not expecting such an initiatives... Well, right now all we can do is wait for Adobe's reply.
One more thing - what you have right now on your 360 may be called the test-version (beta-version) of the drm-supportive firmware. It may work pretty well with drm epubs, or may not, in Europe it does. Please try your drm'ed files on PB360.

Tell the GiK's (Guy's in Kiev) THANKS for pushing the envelope. That is something none of the other-guys/competition ever do...by differentiating the PB readers with added features and extensions it makes the device not only more flexible and appealing to many more folks, it is also more than just another device with a different shell and name silk-screened across the front.
I am sorry to read in the review that the audible click for the buttons still exists. Maybe it's just on of those things, but in some situations it will be a problem if it disturbs others around you. As with all things nothing is perfect though...
