Some of the new features:
Virtual buttons in the UI, instead of taking up a capacitive screen
Voice typing, capable of recognizing speech and converting it into text
Widgets in a new tab, listed in a similar list to apps
Easier-to-create folders, with a drag-and-drop style
A customizable launcher
In a new phone app, visual voicemail functionality that lets user speed up or slow down voicemail messages
Pinch-to-zoom functionality in the calendar
Offline search, a two-line preview, and new action bar at the bottom of the Gmail app
Ability to swipe left or right to switch between Gmail conversations
Integrated screenshot capture (accomplished by holding Power and Volume-Down buttons)
Improved error correction on the keyboard
Ability to access apps directly from lock screen (similar to HTC Sense 3.x)
Improved copy and paste functionality
Better voice integration and continuous dictating capability
Face Unlock, a facial recognition service
New tabbed web browser, allowing up to 16 tabs
Automatic syncing of browser with user's Chrome bookmarks
Modern Roboto font
Data Usage section in settings that lets user set warnings when they approach a certain usage limit, and disable data when the limit is exceeded
Ability to shut down apps that are using data in the background
Camera app: zero shutter lag, time lapse settings, zoom while recording
Built-in photo editor
New gallery layout, organized by location and person
Refreshed 'People' app with social network integration, status updates and hi-res images
Android Beam, a NFC feature that lets user exchange websites, contact info, directions, YouTube, etc.
Hardware acceleration of the UI
Resizeable widgets
Wi-Fi Direct
It is expected to launch on new devices before Christmas, and is possible that most (if not all) Android 2.3.x devices will be updated to 4.0 eventually.
In my honest opinion... it looks amazing.
