Resolution: 1024 x 1280 pixels, 160dpi
iliad v2: 768 x 1024

Greyscale, 16 color

CPU: Freescale i.MX31L processor (which appears to be designed to work at a speed >=532MHz)
128MB RAM
iliad v2: 400MHz, 64MB RAM

Out of box file format support: PDF, PowerPoint, HTML, .txt, Mobipocket, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP
No ePub ("yet?")
iliad v2: no ppt?

Battery(life): Li-Ion, ~24h (duno battery capacity though)
Recharging time 5 hours with USB charging from powered computer
iliad v2: ~9-13hrs, cannot charge via USB (This one seems to be able to)

With Regard to the "Touchscreen" stuff:

It has "Navigation keys" that respond to being lightly touched, with optical feedback to show you that you managed to hit the key correctly. doubt it will have more than that by way of touch screen, since i don't think the Wacom and touchscreen can be combined in the same screen. (sort of like the Samsung u700 phone has)

Edit in response for/to Adam: yes, i read dutch, and am getting most of the info from there as well, along with doing some WP:Synth :P
It appears the weight difference between the Reader 1000 and 1000S is 35g.

Companion software/thing itself installs a printer driver that allows you to print to (a directory on) the Reader

New(?): Text searching in PDFs (with built-in keypad+stylus)

(From a review):the OS has been redesigned, which has "greatly improved" the responsiveness of the OS and it has a "Low power consumption mode that disables the CPU"
Also, the casing's strength has been improved, and you can drop it on a hard surface without necessarily breaking it.
