That is not to say that the PQi tech won't be better, just that I'm not really ready to commit to a 'product' which can't state it *is* available or will be available within the next two months.

It sounds like the displays are not far from been available in products, from what was said in the video I'd expect we'll see products shipping this year that use it. The quality (as everyone here already knows) of reflective displays for reading comfortably combined with the ability to have colour and video makes this tech really interesting imo, to the point where I would put off an iPad purchase to see what products ship this year using it.
Sure you can put off purchases forever waiting for the "next big thing", but if products will be on the shelves by Q3-Q4 of this year, that's not much time to wait for what may be a real change in display tech.
That said, I wouldn't buy an iPad anyway, I don't like the way Apple lock down their products. So the extra wait isn't really a wait for me
I've got my Hanlin, but if someone releases a touchscreen tablet using the new display tech and the price isn't outragous, I'll be upgrading
