there will be no hearing because there is no longer oral argument.

any of these rulings could come at any time as there will be no oral argument on RIM or Apple's motions....collateral estoppel ruling could come at any time too.

;)

however, federal judges and their attorney law clerks try to be exacting in their orders, usually, so not rushed, also imo....
