Buying a 34" or 40" 1080p TV at the premium they are at right now compared to their 720p counterpart, just to be prepared for what may be more prevalent in 5-10 years is a terrible way to buy a TV. (Just as the guy who bought a 34" CRT 16:9 Toshiba HDTV TV 10 years ago when they first came out and paid out the nose. But hey, at least he wasn't out to lunch)
Not to mention, (again), that at a 34" level the average consumer would be hard pressed to tell the difference between 720p/1080i and 1080p.
Buy a 720p TV, save your money and in 5-10 years when 1080p is more "prevalent", then you can buy the latest and greatest TV technology at that time.

No, but I'd love to sell you a new camera
I don't really understand how you can say 'may' become more prevalent. It will, and has. Waiting for technology is a losing game every time.
