But as someone rightly posted. If they postponed until August, then we will have probably a wider choice ! So probably cheaper options as well !
Why would I pay more than 1000 USD for a pixelQI, when I could get an Edge for half that price (although with two separate screens) ?
In addition, I am waiting on amazon's reaction as well!

I've been puzzled by this, also.
The specs for the two models - one with Pixel Qi and one with standard LCD - are exactly the same except for the screen. Since even Pixel Qi's own website says that they "...use standard LCD manufacturing materials and processes" you would think that there should not be much of a price difference just for the screen. I've read other statements on various web sites that make that same point.
If what is said about the process and cost of making the Pixel Qi screen is correct, there should be no reason for a Pixel Qi machine to cost twice as much as a similarly equiped LCD version. Either the higher price version is going to have extra "stuff" or it will be a rip-off.
