Here is marketing info on new improved Eneloop :

Claims 
1) lower self discharge in long term : drops to only 75% @ 3years  
2) better cycle life 1500 versus 1000
3) works to lower temp -20C vs -10C
4) nominal same capacity

Same higher terminal voltage as old eneloop cells, which works better in many 
electronic devices with high cutoff voltage.

The lower long term self discharge makes them even more attractive for low 
discharge applications like Mice,smoke alarms etc which normally use 
disposables.

The low temperature performance is very nice for high current applications in 
flashlights,cameras etc.

For techies this is the best summary of how the Eneloop technology improves 
over regular NiMh:
