Is there something particular that limits Kobo from rolling out 2.9.0 to all of it's devices? Processor speed, perhaps?
When the Aura HD came out and updated to the new GUI, Kobo later added that interface to the Glo but not to the Mini or Touch.

In the last few days, Kobo has released a new update for the Mini and Touch with version 2.6.2.

I'm not sure if it is processor speed so much as screen real estate. While the Touch and Mini have 800MHz processors compared to the Glo/Aura/Aura HD with their 1GHz processors, I suspect the real problem is the Mini/Touch have a lower screen resolution which would not work well with the new GUI.
