Pixel Qi never said that production would start this month: they always mentioned this summer. They're supposed to do a full presentation of the product this month though.

Anyone with a XO-1 is already familiar with the technology: the 3Qi is an evolution of the dual-mode screen available in the XO-1. The main difference for the e-ink mode will be the contrast: it's not as good as a Vizplex (e-ink) device on the XO-1, but should be as good or better on the 3Qi. Readability in the sunlight with the XO-1 is already excellent, it should be even better with the 3Qi.
