Will the Kobo Touch get the new XGA screen?

As the title says - since Kobo is keeping the Touch as part of the "new Kobo Family", I'm wondering if they'll be upgrading the screen to the new XGA. Any official word on this?

I truly doubt it. If they upgraded it the XGA screen then they'd have to sell it at something close to Glo pricing and from an inventory perspective that doesn't make sense. That assumes of course that there isn't any fuzziness on the screen from the light covering (which Kobo is saying there isn't).
