No I've been aware of this game since day 1. You can always get more info for the game by keeping up to date on the gameloft forums.
There hasn't been a release date announced yet. That game was posted here a while ago now, we've all seen it already
A nanosecond is a bit slow for TA. My Gameloft contact told me that they are preparing preview sessions in the coming weeks for this game to expect it out most likely the very end of summer
All it said about a release date was "Summer 2009" at the end of the video. Other than that, no information on a release date.
