He has as much idea of what day it will be released as you do. It was stated second half of November I believe, which could be as late as the 30th Nov 2009 or as early as the 15th.
Me I couldn't care less when it is released (4.8 is doing a fine job in the meantime), as long as it is only released when it is ready, no sooner.
Worrying about the release date won't make it any quicker, one day you get a pleasant surprise rather than a disappointment that the possible date hasn't occurred.
