When can we expect next-gen ATI mobile chips?

[manko]

Does anyone know what the ATI mobile graphics chip roadmap looks like? Can we expect a mobile counterpart to the R300/R9XXX or RV250/R8800 chips anytime soon? Or will the next ATI mobile chips be mobile 8500s? And when would laptops with these new chips be shipping?
