Do you have any idea when you might be getting the WD Black 1TB models with two 500GB platters (which are making a first appearance in the WD20EADS), as opposed to the current 333GB platters ?

As I understand it, the current 500GB and 1TB (WD1001FALS) models will not get new model numbers indicating the new 500Gb platters, which will make it harder to identify them when they are released. However, I think WD said they should start to appear after the WD20EADS makes an appearance.
