In 2.1, scroll speed and such seems to be back where it was in 2.0. I'm pretty convinced some bugs sneaked into 2.0.1 that caused some slowdowns. I didn't notice any improvements improvements over 2.0. I noticed worse browsing performance on 2.0.1 versus 2.0. In 2.1, scroll speed and such seems to be back where it was in 2.0.

I'm pretty sure Gmail, Google Maps, etc are all developed separately from the OS. Updates to those apps don't need to coincide with a system update. I couldn't really tell you what updates and optimizations are going on internally. Most of the features I mentioned here ARE more of software updates (versus internal OS changes), but I would argue apps like the launcher, gallery, etc are more central to the operating system then say Gmail and Google Maps, which aren't even included with all Android phones.

The UI updates look great, but is there anything new under the hood, like improved exchange support (remove wipe/pin lock, etc.), ability to add attachments to email aside from pictures, improved POP3 support, night-mode for Navigation, BT voice dialing, etc.?
