The Raspberry Pi website says they're unlikely to have a new version in the next few years. Do they have FCC now? Maybe they just want to add on the radio modules.

From the FAQ: > there are no immediate plans to release any more new models. A further new model may be released in 2-3 years, but this is not a firm schedule.

Saying you've got an awesome product around the corner is a good way of causing the Osborne Effect [1]. Also, plans can and do change. It could very well be an issue where they weren't planning on it, but the people at Broadcom came up with an offer that was too good to pass up. Plans can and do change.
