check the build.prop file to make sure its teh updated one? all i can say right now really...
Next version will changed the screen density probably so that will be a more obvious change

140 looks sharper, I cant quite tell how, I think the Icons are smaller?

Ah yes, it has made the resolution higher, now "Settings" menu can show all the options on one screen without having to scroll down for "About Device" nice ;)

Everything appears to work great

Scroll feels smoother, faster and can fit more on screen so thumbs up all round

I`ll keep testing ;)


EDIT - Angry birds are now white squares

Noticed that with version 3 of the prop file, documents to go with a graphics intensive powerpoint slide is amazing quick and smooth, much better that when using version 2 of the prop file
