Got the update as well. Still having issues with flash on websites. So, not sure what the download was.
I would be very odd for any software company to release an update without incrementing the build version. The download may be something else.
I had the flash issue too and after some Googling I found you should do a full backup, perform a security wipe, then update back to the 2.1 beta via Desktop Manager. I actually had to do ANOTHER wipe after this and reload the beta OS because it kept thinking it was on OS 1.0.
What were the build ID and Flash Player version prior to the upgrade? My Build ID is currently 229027 and Flash Player is 11.1.121.34. I'm wondering if either of these has changed with this update.
Browser speed has improved drastically.
Keyboard performance with predictive text and spelling correction enabled has improved a lot, it used to be so laggy, especially backspacing
Wifi connection seems more stable, this is the most subjective measure in my mind, the first two are pretty concrete to me
I'm now able to access a banking site that I was unable to access before. I've tried on dolphin and simple browser. They all work now. That is a correction i've definitely noticed. Typing seems faster so far. It's a painless upgrade. 5 minutes or so

Bug fixes and changed in code can be as low as a few bytes. It's just text in a sense.
The browser's always faster for a while, after a reboot... Is this a case of correlation vs causation?
I don't feel it is. I have tried multiple reboots and hard resets on all 4 of our PBs before this update.
Pages definitely load faster after the update. And I don't have phantom taps anymore where the blue bar goes 1/3 and vanishes and the browser doesn't navigate/failure receiving data from peer.
Most likely the wifi fixes are behind this.
The keyboard performance is another definite. I had disabled all the features because it was excruciatingly slow before.
It might be my brain playing games on me, but browser and keyboard definitely seem to be Alot more responsive. I've been on the playbook for about an hour now and yet to see the keyboard lag while typing or pressing back space.

I would agree with this. Browser speed is better; drastically may be too strong a term. The WiFi for me is also much better; no subjectivity; for me it is much better! Very stable and more bars.
Keyboard comes up nearly instantaneously and I have turned the functions back on!
Very happy with the update! (Bring on the full 2.1; need SMS on my PB and I want to use the new print to go!
the browser and keyboard do seem more responsive. However I am not receiving any mail notifications anymore. I have to open the native mail app to see if there are messages.
Also battery drain in standby, without even touching the unit is at about 7-10%. Tried a few reboots and same issue.
