    It will be treated same to main site but the content should be different from the main site IMO.

    In early December Google limited the number of subdomains that will appear for any given search term. Since subdomains were treated as a separate sites, previously in Google results, you could end up seeing hundreds of different subdomains from the same root domain. Google threw a limit on this so only a few subdomains may show up from the same site. In my opinion, it makes sense and produces better search results.

    subdomains are completely new domain.

    your domain is sitename.com and www is also a subdomain on sitename.com;)

    I think this means more power to blogspot blogs. I think this is rewarding. As i have seen some high class ones over the years.

    Nothing, they will still be considered different most likely, again if you read about the last Pub Con you'll get a better understanding.

    What if the subdomains point to a different ip then the main domain, will it still be considered the same site?

    Just search "Matt Cutts Pub Con SubDomains" you'll find tons of information on what Matt Cutts said.
