I have contacted an official HP Middle East representative and he replied with this statement:

"Product launch is confirmed for August/September time-frame. I should be able to reveal more info closer to that date."

There must be a good reason for this delay, I hope it will turnout to be worth waiting for

Cool

but what is the official release date in the U.S. ?!

And I've heard rumors that it might have an optional keyboard , how is that possible

Quite possible if they want to dominate the market share of PPCPE's considering the fact that they got off to a late start.

The hP6315 will come with a lot of goodies which will include a keyboard or more of a thumboard.

Cheers,
Docc.
