From the manufacturer's press release:

The Speedlite 580EX II attaches to the EOS-1D Mark III and can be used in all weather conditions. It can also be controlled via the camera menu. Compared to its predecessor, the Speedlite 580 EX, the new flash features faster recycling times and a more robust design. The new off-camera shoe cable, compact battery pack, and Speedlite mount (also introduced today) are all sealed against dust and moisture when shooting with an off-camera shoe.

The Speedlite 580EX II features many improvements over its predecessor. Flash recycling is silent and 20% faster. A protective coating ensures that the WFT-E2 Wireless File Transmitter, which attaches to the EOS-1D Mark III, is as weather- and dust-resistant as the camera itself. A new metal flash base and contacts provide a more secure connection between camera and flash, while a quick-release mechanism reduces wear on both units. The flash head has a wide zoom range (24-105mm), and a built-in light diffusion panel provides a wider coverage angle (up to 14mm).

The new OC-E3 Off-Camera Shoe Cable, CP-E4 Compact Battery Pack and SB-E2 Speedlite Mount are also weather and dust resistant, giving photographers a complete system that allows them to use their off-camera flash even in challenging weather conditions.
