Dude, there hasn't even been an official announcement yet. We have no idea when it will be available, or if it's even going to be made available to the general public. For all we know, it might not be for sale for another 3-4 months.

Since the K2 (or the K1) are not rendered obsolete, no one is getting "screwed." Especially since I have little doubt that you could sell your K2 for a reasonable price and pick up the larger one when it's available.
In fact, unless you're a student and/or use a lot of manuals or textbooks, it's arguable that the new device will actually constitute an "improvement." Although not everyone would agree, I prefer having a small and therefore highly portable device.
