Signed versus Unsigned Integers?

Am I correct to say the difference between a signed and unsigned integer is:1. Unsigned can hold a larger positive value, and no negative value.2. Unsigned uses the leading bit as a part of the value, while the signed version uses the left-most-bit to identify if the number is positive or negative.3. signed integers can hold both positive and negative numbers.Any other differences?
