From CGI's link:
"Kutaragi's vision isn't limited to long-term possibilities. According to the article, Kutaragi has already provided Sony with his ideas for cost reduction methods and design models for the next two years."

That article is dated for '07, so two years later would be now. So was it his plan all along to release the slim this year, or was that a decision made after he was gone?
