PS3 firmware 2.01 is now available via Network Update. This minor update will fix a few glitches noted in the big 2.00 release. Hopefully, those that have reported game freezing, and other performance issues, will be able to sigh a breath of relief. Update: Here's the "official" word on what's new:

Improved stability when playing some PS3 format software
Improved stability of some system applications, including the Internet Browser and Information Board
Improved stability of the upscaler for PlayStation format software when played on PS3 models that are backwards compatible
The new Remote Start feature has been changed to avoid an unintentional power-on. Remote Start was introduced in firmware version 2.00 to enhance the Remote Play feature by enabling users to turn on a PS3 system remotely with their PSP system from an Internet hotspot.
