IMHO the 920.000 pixel LCD has got to be a major improvement. It cancels one of the worst features of my 40D, its weak display. Microadjustement also looks promising, as does Digic IV, which should take care of offering at least as good noise characteristics as Digic III despite the higher pixel count, which then becomes another bonus.
With 4 significant improvements, this looks like enough to warrant a new camera, and the spec sheet compares well with D300. Except, as is normal with middle-of-the-line products, the key question to decide if it is "interesting" or not is price. And there my guess is that 50D should still be cheaper than D300, which sports a more sophisticated viewfinder and AF. But at the price point where 40D was before they dropped the price, 50D should be a very good seller. Unless (or until) of course, D90...:-)
