Its a buzzword for certain alt coins that use the blockchain. Similar to web 2.0 or industry 4.0 there is not a single product or software its refering to

this is the first time I`m hearing something about an update to bitcoin...

I think its more of a marketing buzzword to get people hyped for their specific goal. Not bitcoin itself.

yes, it is a concept.  Thinks like Counterparty, Etherium, Colored Coins, Bitshares, etc. are Bitcoin 2.0 concepts.  See this video

Doesn't mean anything in particular... Just a general term to describe altcoins with added features or protocols that add features to bitcoin itself...
Features like native support for decentralized exchanges etc...

The wallet needs a lots of updates tho, it's incredibly dull looking. Could do with some more content and faster downloading of the blockchain.

Dude, it's still in concept. I'm with high expectation with this 2.0 thing too.

Okay, so 2.0 will be like a new crypto currency?
I was thinking its kinda the concept "moneypot.com" is using already that you value 0.000001 as 1 coin.
I think thats a great idea and makes 1 bitcoin look like alot.

Am I missing something here? If we value 0.000001 as 1 coin to make 1 bitcoin look a lot more, then a sat would be worthless.

The reference client is not a wallet. It's a full node implementation + a wallet. If you just need a wallet try one of the lighter clients like electrum or multibit etc...
