I just wanted to put in my two cents about the 1.0.1 update from B&N...I un-rooted and then used the sideload install package from B&N to update. I left the WiFi on all night...no real change in battery drain, and no appreciable change in connecting. It wasn't an issue before though.

Web browsing experience - dismal. It is still not very well done. The rooted NC with Dolphin or whatever your preference was many times better.

Any other things noticed - nothing that I can see and I've gone to every screen and poked and prodded and still can't see anything that would make it a compelling argument to update.

With all that, I'd say if you currently happy with your rooted NC at 1.0, then I'd keep it that way until the 2.0 release comes.

I'm just sayin...
