I don't remember seeing it anywhere on the forums, and at least me don't check very often what's happening on ShadowRN mailing list. And my guess is that what Bull had say may interest some people here.

Back from Origins.  Long convention.  Much fun.  Too much booze :)

Shadows of Europe was there.  It's huge, 240 pages, $30.00.  Looks nice.  Have only barely skimmed it, so can't really give an opinion on it yet beyond "Looks kinda cool".

SOTA 2064 and Mr. Johnson's Little Black Book will hopefully be available at gen Con, according to Rob at the What's up with Fanpro seminar.

Running Wild and Loose alliances will follow over the next few months, and Shadows of Asia is shooting for maybe early next year some time, probably Springish.

Next year there's an adventure set and what I believe will be a metaplot heavy sourcebook that will finally wrap up Deus storyline, as well as "other stuff".  Rob was keeping this info close to the vest, so there wasn't much info to share with this one.

Overall, looks like after the SoE snafu, things are back on track, and rather than complaining about no books, people can complain about too many :]  Things were heavily backlogged due to SoE's delays, but getting worked on still, so there's a pile of books in the "almost done" stage.

Also, FanPro has worked out a deal with WizKids, and chances are that we'll see PDF's for older sourcebooks sometime in the relatively near future (a few months is what Rob said), probably released through online PDF sale sites like RPGNow or DriveThruRPG.  Newer books probbaly won;t be avilable via PDF for at least 6 months after they are initially released.
