GH2 touchscreen focus at DVinfo.net

The ability with the GH2 to focus via the touchscreen has me intrigued. It seems that the GH2 will have a very fast focus... does anyone know if the touchscreen focus time can be adjusted? I'd love to be able to vary the focus transition time from when one part of the screen is touched until the next part is touched to give a slow "rack focus" type effect.

That would be an interesting feature. Haven't seen anything saying it's adjustable though. Just saw a GF2 video that showed some interesting features (defocus control and "Rack Focusing during Movie Recording) on YouTube that may also be in the GH2:

Also, Panasonic added a movie page to the GH2 site (new to me, at least):

Lumix GH2

No online manual that I've seen so far though.
