Since we only have “Over 1000 quality improvements including Mail, Facebook, Twitter, minor network & connectivity improvements” as the official changelog, we have to rely upon many sources to dig out what all has changed with PR1.3. The swipe.nokia.com is having details of only PR1.2 and not PR1.3 .
But if you see the above screenshot it seems Dropbox’s direct access is now out of box on N9 with “Dropian”.
Also, folks over the “Maemo forum” have created a thread to consolidate all reported changes by device owners. The changelog list is extensive and may change later. But it seems the PR1.3 makes the N9 very smooth and apps are reportedly opening faster. See the full changelog below.
