Devices still waiting for release will probably have old one too, if they don't react fast. If they do act fast, they won't have any edge over *you*, you won't loose any points compared to them in this field. If they don't, you have an edge even against them.
So it all really depends on quality and pricing of the new technology. I can understand some people being worried that this tech will decrease performance of the touchscreen, maybe it will be less precise, needs stronger touch to work, etc. The article I found says it's "price competitive" which, frankly, doesn't mean much, that some people call their products price competitive doesn't mean everyone (or even anybody) else do the same.

Dear pkovak:
Thank you for some great feedback and a well thought out post.
From what I am hearing now the new "under the E-Ink" touchscreen will run about $60 more that regular touch.
I have the same concerns as have been voiced already about touch pressure and reliability and other drawbacks if any. I fired off about six questions of this nature last night and will have answers soon.
