Its just a name change guys, sure, their may be a couple things fixed/ implemented, but the main thing that changes is the price.

He didn't say something was going to change during beta, however, he didn't say that nothing would change in beta either. You can't be sure until beta comes out.
I don't get it either. It's a name change in the development cycle..... I fail to understand why most people think there will be some huge game altering update.
What's not to understand? To quote MIB "A person is smart. People are dumb." The last pre-announced update (Halloween) was huge and people went ape-**** over it. Hell, we still have a forum section dedicated to it... why? Halloween Update posts are just general posts now... yet the section persists. Now that we have another pre-announced update about to go live people (the dumb animals they are) are whipping themselves into a frenzy because they're expecting another Halloween Update.
I don't know what to expect but I anticipate being disappointed. We might see some interesting new features tomorrow or we might not. The fact remains that more updates will come and the game will improve. We just have to wait.

Please link anything that Notch has ever posted about new content being released tomorrow.... Anything....
It's a name change in the development cycle... Not an update.

"Update" doesn't imply new content. Unless you want to get technical and say that any addition to the programming could be referred to as "content." The fact of the matter is Notch has been talking about various bug fixes and other things (typically SMP related) for weeks. Has he officially said they will come with Beta? No. But it is implied. Several of the bug fixes that he mentioned completing haven't made it into the game yet (at least I haven't noticed). So what is he waiting for? Oh I don't know... the pre-announced update?
Re-read my post and you'll see that I am not excited and do not expect super-fantastical-uber-updatedness but you can bet your sweet ass that there will be more than a name and price change tomorrow. It just won't be anything worth creaming your pants over.

I mean, really, what is going to change?
Q) Are updates going to come out faster?
A) Most likely not. Search your heart, you know it to be true.
Q) Are updates going to contain more content?
A) Possibly, as he now has a "team" to contribute ideas and distribute the workload assuming everyone stays healthy during the work week.
Q) Does Beta mean anything?
A) Just to mark a milestone in the games history is all. Beta is simply another frivolous suffix attached to Minecraft's name at this point in time.
Q) Am I 100% correct on all the above?
A) Yes. Yes I am.
