If you are really interested, and need a quickie Cliff Notes Version... it
appears as a video-less M240.  Not a lot of major innovation.

 

Quickly.. IF you were to compare it to a M240...

It has a logical and non-ambiguous name... M10

24MP (CMOS sensor from the SL, with micro lenses for M lenses), Maestro 2
Processor ( leverages the FW needed for imaging computations)

Bigger shooting Buffer

Different button layout . ISO dial is in the place of the film rewind crank.
( You DO remember film rewind cranks, don't you?) 

Slightly larger LCD on back

Slightly thinner body ( by about 1/8 of an inch) , which necessitated a lens
mount that protrudes from the body

Eyepiece magnification raised to 0.73  ( M240 is 0.68).. more accurate
focusing possible

WIFI  ( send your photos to Twitter automatically through your phone!!!, he
says, tongue in cheek)

1 oz lighter.. 

 

Overall, if you were hoping for a 40-100MP Leica, with ISO range to half a
million or more, you will be disappointed.

 

Bob.. no word on long exposure stuff.

 

Good news, my M9 and Monochrom keep chugging along...
