A debit card allowing for broader use will create more recognition form the general public, that is for sure.

I think I found the major announcement:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/welcome-rachel-bitinstants-newest-team-member-105100
Why is that noteworthy? Bitcoin community's women quota increased by 33%? More equality = more stability? Hmm … makes sense to me.

I still think it's an Android tablet with adhoc bitcoin networking through wifi.
That would be cool, but I'm not sure how that would contribute to any new "stability"
Oh, so Google and Apple announced they just settled their argument and both launch this Bitcoin Mesh Network pre-installed on iPhone 5 and put it into the next Android version? I heard, Nokia is joining, too. No? It's just some toy project of somebody who tried it on his custom board and it worked? For a mesh network you need saturation and this would really only work if my completely utopian scenario #1 came true. If "only" android did it, it would take twice as long to saturate any area in the world with bitcoin connectivity over wifi. If you would patch all existing Android Bitcoin clients to have a service that burns your battery to provide this functionality, you would never ever ever reach saturation in downtown New York.
Edit: Maybe it would be sufficient for the BitPay cubicle

So they've announced a new version 0.7.0 RC, is that what they were referring to? Or is it some particular feature of this release?

It is now September where I am.
I don't understand how an open source project can hide major developments. I assume it isn't technical in nature.

I hope it is not directly related to code changes but even that would be ok. Each and everyone can fork the project if he doesn't like Gavin's style.
I think, this whole thread is pointless as it is hype for nothing in the end or maybe Gavin had some private project going or heard something that might turn out as vapor ware. Looking at Gox tells me that the guys with the money don't seam to expect much.
+1
such announcements are the way how establishment hunts attention in the world we know so far!

Somebody's trying hard to be ignorant.
Yep, gizmo is.
His grammar isn't great, but he's asking what day the announcement is supposed to happen.

do you really know that he's a nice and honest person? do you know him personally and well?
I didn't say that but I guess it's a typo on your end. I don't know him personally, although a person I ultimately trust claims I have been at an event with him long before he was in the news. Said person says he's been an arrogant idiot causing trouble back then and arrogant is what I find his public statements, too, so SuperP's concern doesn't sound far fetched to me.
