Besides the stuff that's visible, like the new homescreen widget and Android that greets you the first time you boot the phone, obviously a lot of the work is under the hood. It's all about speed, as you might've heard.

Overall, for us, the experience seemed about the same as 2.1 on the Nexus One, though there might've a bit more smoothness to transitions and animations.
