Resolution: 1024 x 1280 pixels, 160dpi
CPU: Freescale i.MX31L processor (which appears to be designed to work at a speed >=532MHz)
128MB RAM (up from 400mhz 64mb)

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

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)

New(?): Text searching in PDFs (with built-in keypad+stylus, so likely not in 1000)

(From a review):the OS has been redesigned, and it has a "Low power consumption mode that disables the CPU"
Responsiveness of the OS has been "greatly improved"
(maybe that's what gets you 60-70hrs from a 24h battery life.. doubt it'll work i.c.w. the Stylus, though.)

Also, the casing's strength has been improved, and you can drop it (if you're lucky) on a hard surface without necessarily breaking it.

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