Unfortunately, I'm hearing it won't be until 2007 before it's released.

Nice, very nice! The graphical one (the first one) is more informative of the actual game itself, the second one just outlines the process of going from "pre-production" to production.

You better have heard wrong!
I can't wait until 2007!
I think that 'rumor' came about by Wil Wright being quoted in Wired as saying it'll come out "next year". The thing is, the interview could have been done in say, late December. I can see magazines collecting articles/interviews atleast 3 months in advance. I would think that interviews would be done early, especially when they might want a series of interviews in time for GDC and E3.

it has 'round the clock' news about the game, it seems. on the left column, you'll see the potential release date. Chieftess does have a point though. it might be released sooner than rumour has it.

This game looks fun. 
You know what, I've been surfing the internet looking for more info about it, and it struck me that the video, although made last year, suddenly appeared on the net since beginning of this month....
Does the term viral marketing sound familiar? If not: it's where you start a rumour and add some small tidbit of info about your product. In this case moving screen shots and an enthousiastic report to boot.
I'm not saying that EA started this, but if they did it's brilliant as well.
Now timing wise they need to feed the fans to keep the hipe going. Some are talking about one of the editors (creature) being released before the game itself... Wouldn't it be grand if they did, say at or just after the E3 event?

Minimum requirements and specs would be good, then. My laptop can barely handle Civ 4 (I know, I know, I didn't ask for a Pentium graphics card), and I hope this doesn't blow it entirely.a space oddity said:You know what, I've been surfing the internet looking for more info about it, and it struck me that the video, although made last year, suddenly appeared on the net since beginning of this month....

Well, since everything will be generated locally, I guess a really good CPU will be needed to run it smoothly. 
I'll be glad with any type of info at E3 personally, the spore-bug has gotten me well and truly hooked. I have a long list of sites to check whether there's new info around. The interviews with Will Wright are really interesting, including the older ones. I'd say he knows exactly what he wants with this game. I only hope that he will let it roam free at some point and give us the chance to play it...
I don't know whether the current lull in information is a good or a bad sign in that regard. They did say at the GDC that the team working on it has doubled over the last months, so they do mean business now.

Sadly, I read that EA made it official that Spore won't be out until at least april 2007.
From www.gamingsteve.com, the source of the most up to date Spore info. There are links to other videos as well, including this cool trailer and footage from the editorLord_Iggy said:
