General consensus on 3.1 upgrade

I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch (32GB), and am considering upgrading to the latest version of the firmware. I have noticed a few people moaning here about problems they've had with it though, and thats got me a little concerned.

Whats the general consensus with this upgrade? Is it worthwhile installing it? Are there any gotchas I should be aware of?

iMac 20" 2.66GHz 4GB RAM 640GB HDD, iPod Touch 32GB 2nd Generation, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

I just did the 3.1.1 upgrade. 30 minutes to back up ipod, 8 minutes to upgrade. all seems well at this point. I've got about 10 apps that show up in the app store that need upgrading, and I'll do that momentarily. hopefully everything will keep on working.

As far as WIFI goes, the signal strength indicator is more responsive, and my range on both my home router and MiFi unit are unaffected--the only difference from 2.2 is that the bars drop as I move away from the hotspot, but like I said the range is fine. I can go at least 80 feet away and still get a use able signal.
