Yesterday in the mail I got my 2.8" PiTFT and it works great! Totally worth the monies.
I followed the Learn instructions on soldering the connectors and installing drivers without an issue. The only issue I found was that it would not start after a reboot. I did a quick search on the form and found a fix:
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
add to the end of the file, just before the exit 0
sudo modprobe spi-bcm2708
sudo modprobe fbtft_device name=adafruitts rotate=90
export FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fb1
startx
Rebooted and it works fine.
This should be noted in the Learn instructions.

Check a little further down the page for the "Module Auto-Loading" section:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pit ... to-loading
You can add the FRAMEBUFFER and `startx` commands to the end of /etc/rc.local to get the PiTFT to launch an X session at startup though, yes.
