Leica shouldn't make any announcements regarding future products until they're ready to ship, or very close to it. Otherwise they will be endlessly criticized, flooded with feature requests, and in general, micro-managed to death.

Look at Apple: Here we are just days away from a new product announcement, and all we know so far is that it probably involves iPods.

15K USD for an R10 body sounds improbable to me unless they're expecting the US Dollar to be worth just 30% as much by late 2008 or simply don't want to sell too many of the things. Even now, it's like the old joke: $5K for an M8, $5K for a Noctilux and $5K for a WATE; pretty soon it adds up to real money.
