They've also said that almost all existing apps will. I guess we'll find out which of these two statements is true in two months (or possibly sooner, depending on when they start processing/rejecting submissions for apps).

Currently I'm betting 60/40 against, based on the comments from publishers about Apple's book strategy (smaller slice, bigger pie) but ultimately I think it boils down to how seriously Apple takes the e-book market.
