What a good idea. I rarely reverse my lens hoods, except for air travel, so probably not a big selling point for me. But, most of the innovation seems to be coming from Olympus, Fuji, Sony etc, with Canon and Nikon bringing up the rear.
Yes, things are getting exciting with those two coming out. It's early stages though (I.e. Neither are available) so it would be good to see a bit of competition in the area. Especially given the price of x series 'blad lenses.
I wouldn't mind a play with an X1D, but I suspect it'll be pretty basic on features.

Oly hoods vary from lens to lens. The retractable ones are on the longer teles PRO lens such as the 40-150/f2.8 and 300/f4.
Some like the 12-40/2.8 has reversible bayonets.
And some like the 75/1.8 has a dreaded side locking screw... urghh.
