Q2 '12 for shure, maybe even Q1.
so far away? weren't they supposed to be out this year? (I distinctly recall promises of Q4 2011)

There were never promises, only assumptions and rumors.
I distinctly remember there being official claims but I could be wrong. I can't find any now that i google it.

AMD demonstrated the industrys first 28 nanometer mobile GPU. AMDs next-generation family of high-performance graphics cards is expected to ship for revenue later this year.
the problem is that today is kinda sucky.

There continues to be problems with TSMC, etc. AMD has officially delayed them a couple of times already.
i hope they get released soon, having a 5850 i really don't have a meaningful upgrade option around 200$ (excluding 2nd hand cards...)
AMD did say they would have next gen GPU's "shipping for revenue" before years end.
Shoppers in general are better informed than just a few years ago. The MFRs know this and know that and also know that release dates will very much stifle current demand. Gone are the days where they're trying to one-up each other on paper launches. Now the only people they're trying to one-up are the consumers. They want as many people as possible to buy current gen cards without knowing a significant jump in performance is coming in the short term.
