I'm really considering going for the new kindle touch, but, i'd like to know the major cons and pros. I'm studying, and notes would only be taken occasinaly. Do you think I should go for the touchscreen?
The Touch has a virtual keyboard--you can use it for taking notes. Whether or not you will prefer typing on the virtual keyboard vs. a real keyboard comes down to personal preference.
One more thing. Do kindle 3 apps, like notepad, work on kindle touch?
From a customer service post on Amazon:

Hi Ed,
Although not all active content titles work on the new Kindle at this time, there are a number of them that already do. These titles are published both by Amazon as well as third-party publishers.
Amazon is working closely with major active content publishers to make sure that new versions of active content titles will soon be available for the new Kindle.
Best Regards,

And are there screen protectors for touchscreens?
There will inevitably be a 3rd party screen protector produced at some point if there isn't one already. (I personally wouldn't bother... it'll just add glare).
