The 10D interface is different from the DS in that there are two wheels on the K10D, more buttons to allow faster access to commonly used functions.
On occasions when I carry both bodies, long lens on the K10D & short lens on the DS, I try to spin the (missing) front wheel on the DS. It takes a bit of thought when switching between cameras.
K10D is great for landscapes. I use both for concerts, depending on the light.
I'd also second Ben's suggestion to get a third party battery & charger (I also have a grip). For me, the K10D with grip & 2 batteries trump the DS ability to shoot with AAs. I got a battery & charger off ebay for around $20.

I currently have both, the DS and the 10D.
Is the 10D a worthwhile upgrade from the DS? To me, yes. Shake reduction, weather sealing, and improved handling did it for me.
I still keep (and use) my DS as it does a couple of things better:
- smaller/lighter, less obtrusive.
- better high iso performance.
The only downside, is that the 2 cameras handle differently.
