widescreen IPS/Flexview on new T series?

[npish]

I've been reading many of the posts on this and other forums concerning the forthcoming (official) announcement of widescreen T series notebooks, and I'm wondering about the likelihood of a 15.4" IPS/Flexview model.

I actually decided to cancel an order I had made last week for a 15" T60 SXGA+ just so I could wait the extra few weeks and see what these new widescreen models will have to offer. My thinking is that, given that I would prefer a widescreen display, I'll check out the new configs, however, if a 15.4 IPS screen isn't offered, I'll likely just re-order the original T60.

I'll be using this machine for digital photography and graphic design, and I've decided upon the T60 pretty much entirely because of what I've read about the quality of the IPS screens. A 15.4" version, however, would be a dream come true, I think.

Any thoughts/predictions?

Thanks.

ps. this also begs the question: if IPS/Flexview-- or at least a higher grade display-- is not, in fact, offered on these new models, what really will differentiate the new T6x's from the Z61's (aside from build quality, I assume)?
