Late 2004 seems to be the current date.  Full speed USB PICs were supposed
to have been released at least two years ago but kept getting delayed as
Microchip redid their tool chain and then kept getting other higher priority
projects in the way.  I've been told that now they are in progress for real.
I'll believe it when I can hold samples in my hand.

They were supposed to be released in early November.  However, a whole run
of wafers got "misprocessed" (oops), so they were going to delay until
December.  Then somebody decided between Thanksgiving and Christmas was a
bad time for such a release with all the associated fanfare.  I'm not sure
what the latest official release date is.  Real Soon Now (tm).
