3" vs 2.5" LCD (same pixel count though) 9 vs 7 point AF Rubber grips vs bare plastic 0.87x vs 0.81x viewfinder magnification 475g vs 450g (no battery) The 1000D has less buttons, more menu surfing will be needed.
I think the 450d will be the nicer camera to have to deal with on a regular basis. The actual image quality will be nigh on exact, though.
