G1X Accessory Lens(es)

I've been using a G11 for several years now, and I've been quite pleased with it. I had hoped Canon would come out with an upgraded version featuring something like an APS-C sensor, and so they did.

I've handled the G1X at a store, and it's really not much larger or heavier than the G11. Yes, it will fit in a jacket pocket, but I prefer to carry mine around in a small case large enough for the camera and a 270EX flash.

So, when am I going to buy the G1X? I'm not sure, because I do use the 140mm (equiv.) lens zoom on the G11, and the G1X only zooms out to 112mm. The store salesman said it was only a matter of time before Canon came out with accessory lens(es) for the G1X, but I have an innate distrust of undocumented claims by store salesman.

So, what do you folks think? Will Canon be producing at least a tele lens accessory for the G1X?
