Not much really.
If a studio wants to include downloadable internet junk like trailers, film facts, blogs etc, they basically can & you can check them out if you have your gear hooked up via ethernet. Its the same principle as DVD-rom SD discs with the exception of picking up your lazy ass & putting the disc in your PC instead.
1.1 allows studios to do 2 true separate video streams simultaneously, ala picture in picture commentary.
1.0 will still support the advanced menu layouts, video & audio of the film as well as any extras that no one cares aboot.
And, just a heads up the PS3 is already the best BD playback devise. Maybe IMB could have thrown the CELL into these standalones to pimp out the speed. Alas these players will still boot up like a PC & navigate 1/4 the speed in comparison.
