After accepting that this is ONLY a security update, I thought I'd check out the only security update I personally found unnerving:
http://www.figma.com/dialerbug/
NOPE, NOT FIXED YET. Whoops.
I'm glad however, they they nixed a number of the cross-site scripting attack issues however. The dialerbug is still a bit disturbing if not high-priority.
Other than that, for what its worth, I think Safari does feel much more stable, but I'm guessing Apple won't "own up" to stability issues. I'm going to keep all my tabs full and see if I can "crash" it again tonight. Having no "luck".
This is interesting though. Apple knows how many DISTINCT and INDIVIDUAL iPhone customers they have piling onto iTunes and getting updates. This first security update would be an excellent way to see how "ACTIVE" their customers are in getting iPhone updates. A great story to share with potential partners if the "update rate" is high. My guess, the percentage of quick updaters will be higher than any other phone on the market, everytime they do it.
Also, tremendous WARNING SHOT across the bow of modders. In order to update, you'll need to RESTORE. How totally and completely sucky. Now I'm *completely* not interested in any mods. AT ALL. (Though honestly, nothing was compelling much anyways).
