Nice to see Sony haven't abandoned the X Series, although they could address the problems users have had and listen to them for what features they would like, i.e scrolling titles.
Its little problems like this which are ignored that spoil a otherwise good player.

I had to dig my X1051 out of the closet to see what this was all about. Of course the battery was dead. After 15 minutes or so of USB charging it woke up enough for the PC to recognize it and the update software to see it.

Still have to use the numeric keypad to enter text. Fail. FAIL. FAIL!@

Can the update be performed from a Mac OS? I don't have a Windows PC or OS disc.
