CES has confirmed that Bill Gates will be giving the pre-show keynote at January's Consumer Electronics Show, a move that many are interpreting as the date Microsoft will finally unveil the Xbox 2. The PowerPC and ATI-powered development boxes are already in the hands of many developers, so it's reasonable to expect something soon, and Microsoft had initially planned to announce the original Xbox had the 2000 show, although that didn't work out quite as they had expected due to delays.
