I don't think it will be in the 2011's, but have not heard anything about it either way. I won't be getting my next F150 until it is avalible. Anyone know when?

It's not in the 2011 factory build sheets for the F150, so probably not until the 2011.5 model year at the earliest. But like BJ said, probably not till after 2012. The only model I've seen MyFordTouch specifically mentioned on is the 2011 Edge.
Cegan, you're more or less right, MyFordTouch is basically Sync with 3 LCDs instead of 1. Two are in the dash, one (touchscreen) in the center stack. Basically the computer is more powerful, with more voice commands, WiFi hotspot, and more functionality on the touch screens. Also includes a second USB port, RCS inputs, SD card port, and 5-way buttons on the steering wheel. It can also do album art, and contact pictures from the phone.
Bottom line, it's going to be awesome, and I hope that they can port at least some of the features to the existing Sync hardware.
It looks like the 2011 Raptor is going to get a small portion of it (namely one in-cluster LCD, new interface design, and 5-way steering wheel button), but nowhere near the full feature set.
