Good to hear. I did the same thing, and it worked. The second update, for the GPS, had some issues since the update information was simply printed on top of the normal stuff you would see when the camera is turned on. It also took a longer time to finish than the first update.

In any case, here is hoping the battery issue is finally fixed.

successfully upgraded the firmware by just copying all the files in the .zip to my sd card, switching off the camera and restarting it in playback mode. Firmware upgrade completed after which the camera turns off. Once i turned it on again it commenced with a seperate firmware upgrade for the gps (believe this addreses the battery issue). Feeling positive that all issues are now sorted out. Loving the camera btw. highly recommended, would love to know what dpreview thinks. Never owned a camera that did not receive a Gold award from them. Hopefully the streak continues.

Intellistudio fails, but one would assume all you have to do is put all the files in the Samsung provided .zip at the root of the SDcard, and update. Has anyone tried this? This seems to be what Intellistudio tries to do, but only about half of the files actually gets extracted.
