No, it has not been officially announced, and Apple is conspicuously absent

from the list of partners in the Flash open format section of the

Macromedia site, but from a conversation with a QT4 beta tester I had last

week I think we can rely on this as more than speculation.


I read a rumor that Job's "big suprise" at the Macworld confrence was

supposed to be QT4, but the announcement was axed due to bugs found at the

last minute. I can say that that beta tester could be described as "struck

speechless" and I sensed the reason was as much because he was so in awe of

it than any confidentiality agreement he was in.
