Got this late last night from Canon. A link takes you to the firmware downloads, and the D-Rebel is showed as 1.1.1, the 10D is 2.0.0.

Seems Canon can't keep the two seperated, in their own minds.

"Greetings,

We are happy to announce the availability of a firmware update* that adds compatibility for a new industry standard for Direct Printing called "PictBridge".

The firmware will update the EOS Digital Rebel to v2.0.0 and provides the following:

1. Adds support for PictBridge (see description below).
2. Increased reliability when using the Remote Capture application with the camera.
3. Increased reliability in Windows XP and Mac OS X environments when the camera is directly connected using the [PTP] communication setting."

Are you sure the post is from Canon really?
If there is, it seems a bad "cut&paste" case :)
They've mixed the 10D 2.0.0 upgrade to pictbridge with the 300D/DRebel 1.1.1 fix of PTP and RemoteCapture problems (the 300d was pictbridge enabled since the original 1.0.2 firmware)
