If you'd like to compare side by side for different Canon's, here's a great link that lets you select cameras and then click the red "compare" button at the top left of the page and you'll see them side by side to compare.
Here's my take on the SD960 vs. the SD880:
Same exact sensor in both cameras
Same shooting modes, lens, zoom, and basic features (like color swap, accent, slow shutter, etc)
Both use DIGIC IV, the latest and best in camera software processing from Canon
The SD880 has a slightly larger LCD (3.0" vs 2.8")
The SD880 will have a little less noise and be a bit more light sensitive due to not overloading the sensor as much as the SD960
The SD960 will shoot better (HD) video, over the SD880 which shoots regular VGA quality video.
The SD880 uses the bigger battery (5L) over the 960's 4L, meaning the 880 will last a bit longer in shooting/playback
The SD880 will be a better buy, without losing anything in quality or ability (other than HD video) over the 960.
The SD960 sounds like a "better" camera, but it is in fact not really giving you anything more in image quality or light sensitivity over the SD880. The same sensor will almost always perform better at less MP rather than more MP. Until the up the sensor size (like in the SD990 or G10), the new batch from Canon is more about marketing, than improving the picture.
If I were looking to buy now, I'd definitely go with the SD880 over the SD960 without hesitation.
