And apps that require root access will no longer function (softkeys and button savior are a few). If you download the app "Z4root" prior to updating, it appears you MAY be able to get root back following an update to 1.1

Someone has already indicated that tonight they will post a method to update a rooted 1.0.1 NC to 1.1.0 w/o losing root or any of the benefits. If you don't want to have your NC autoupdate, you may want to keep wifi off, or look into the method of replace the build.prop in the system directory to trick the NC into thinking it has already been updated.
I've actually tried to sideload the update to my rooted 1.0.1 NC but it won't "take". Copy the zip file over, wait for it to sleep, it reboots and comes right back to my normal launcher (Zeam). What I find interesting is that is also deletes the zip file.
