I've only seen videos. There's a video that was uploaded yesterday that has the new firmware update (can choose when you want the screen to refresh).

It doesn't have the pizazz of the NOOK at first glance. It doesn't offer highlighting and dictionary lookup for sideloaded books. It doesn't allow you to change margins and line spacing.

I can only go by what's being discussed by Kobo reps in the Kobo forum here. It appears they are responding to requested features in a timely fashion. Am I willing to gamble $129 on this? Am I willing to lose $139 waiting on B&N to address things they haven't even acknowledged as issues? The shortcomings of the NOOKcolor have been carried over to the Touch. The NOOKcolor's been out six months already and syncing is still a problem.
