They've been talking about the new viewer framework for awhile. I'm reasonably certain that it'll be included in a firmware update for the iLiad. I'm just not sure whether they'll change the current UI to match what the new Reader has, or if they'll leave the iLiads with their current UI.
If they're planning on long term support of the iLiad, then it would make sense to keep the code bases as close as possible. If they're only intending a couple more updates and then stopping development, then they likely won't bother with major UI overhauls.
Either way, I'd be happy with just the viewer framework update. I wish they would mention whether or not it's expected soon. They originally said the announcement today would include software, but I don't know if they only meant the new DR1000 software, or if there is an iLiad update coming. Hopefully they'll clarify that soon.
