Considering how poorly the last Accord Hybrid sold, I'd be inclined to wait for a more... "dedicated model."

That, or Honda yields to Hybrid Synergy Drive as the default hybrid choice, and puts all their efforts and marketing "might" behind Earth Dreams. ;-)

It has been public for a while already that:
1) The Accord will debut the Plug-In drivetrain this fall (but will be late fall vs. an earlier Accord FMC), which is why it is still not listed here.
2) A regular hybrid version will follow in 2013.
