To my surprised (I wasn't expected the update) I received the notification to upgrade to Android 3.1, I was very excited since we never got the fix in Canada for the screen turning on/off when idle. So far I'm very happy with the update, there are many improves in speed and battery life, also I had Aldiko Premium installed and every time I switched from landscape to portrait it will force closed but not anymore I've been using it since yesterday and I'm yet to see one of those. (with Aldiko that is).
A very happy Iconia user.

I got my update yesterday and everything seems to work better. The browser is now handling JAVA script a lot better and is faster.

I also was able to install the Netflix app from the Market, but it only lets me manage the Queue. I can see movies, but it errors when I try and play them. At least theres some progress, though.
