For those of you that hadn't heard, the 9mm XDs was announced at SHOT this week.

I just bought a Walther PPS in 9mm, so I probably won't be getting the XDs myself, but having more options to choose from is always a great thing!
The only complaint I have with the XDs is the grip texture. More specifically, the edges on the thumb shelf/scallop are sharp and do not feel too good. My PPS, OTOH, feels great in my hand, grip texture and all. I'd be very interested to see a size comparison between the PPS and XDs, actually.
Anyhow, just wanted to share the news! Happy shooting!
