Rob,

latest rumour dujour is that it will be announced in time for COMMON in 
Nashville in 2008....do the math.  Also, after this release, you'll finally 
see IBM getting serious about putting os/400 on blade...but not until.  So 
don't expect to see blade until mid/late 2008 at earliest...but then, 
things can change...gravity can be reversed....  :)
