I bit the bullet and bought the SD960 after finding out the SD980 won't be out until sometime in October. That's too long in baby-time to not have a compact around for shooting snaps and some video.

With any luck I can resell the SD960 without losing much money in a few months if I decide to move to something else like the SD980 (wider and longer lens). I bought it for US$248 all-in which is pretty decent.

It's too bad that firmware hack seems to only be supported on older Canon cameras so far. None of the compacts released this year seem to have versions for them. I very much wanted to try some intervalometer shooting from a Kite this year before winter comes around.
