The new Rebel is supposed to have an improved version of live view AF.
Cheap price and fast live AF will attract many p&shooters.

Exactly. The 5D doesn't really need an update imo.

There are some really nice features that the 5D could use, but in terms of useability and image quality, it is a top-notch camera. I won't be selling mine any time soon, but I would welcome a few improvements if they were available (and if they weren't at the expense of the 5D's excellent high-ISO noise performance and latitude).

I just bought the Rebel XS a couple weeks ago. I chose it over the Nikon D40x. Was this a bad move? I am VERY new to the DSLR world, and wanted an entry-level camera.

No Trace this was not a 'Bad' move. you just bought into 1 of the 2 best camera sytems around.
learn to use your xs and if you get on with it expand your glass to the point when you need a newer/better body
good luck and have fun

also if you hang around here you will learn an awful lot about your photography .
