There is no news on that.
IBM plays new hardware announcements really close to the vest. The last
thing in the world they want is for someone like you to delay purchasing
equipment thus affecting their quarterly sales. Granted, your purchase by
itself may not be that significant but if it is indicative of others doing
the same thing it can snowball.

Also, I "believe" there is a ruling somewhere that forbids such a
corporation of announcing a new product like this which will not come out
in that quarter.

NDAs on new hardware are really strict for such reasons.
