This thing has almost no new features at all, but instead of the distinguishing stylish brushed aluminum casing it has a cheap shiny plastic casing. And the external stylus is a big NO too.
This model has been released for the sake of price competition not for the sake of innovation.
The only thing I like so far are the enhanced customization options. But probably they could do that for my model too with the release of some new firmware.

As far as the release date is concerned Bol.com says 19.10.2011.
Stronger processor? Supposedly it is a 1ghz processor. That's plenty of power to run a Reader.

Almost no new features? WiFi, browser, can download eBooks, more font size choices, fonts to choose from, multi-touch, and other stuff. So really, it's got a lot more going for it.
