When is the cupcake update for Android’s G1 coming?

Google is taking considerably longer to release the much-anticipated cupcake update for the Android mobile operating system than originally planned. Speculation will lead me to think that part of the reason is that the G2 is coming out soon and so they want their bases covered and have this update work well on the current T mobile G1 as well as be a solid, good OS for the G2 device.

And all of that will take time and lots and lots of testing, especially considering that the next generation of the Android device from HTC for Tmobile will not have an external keyboard. 

My guess is that it is fairly certain that the new update will hit G1 devices right around the time that the G2 is being released. Originally, it seemed as if the update was coming early 2009 but all plans of that were squashed when news of the pending G2 broke out. Since then it has become pretty clear that G1 customers will get an update only around the time that the new device hits the market.
