Photoshop for Apple is still 32 bit and the 64 bit version (more or less promised for CS5) may cause the ship date to be delayed until summer. To the best of my knowledge there is not even a late Alpha version released yet. Generally, it's 6 to 8 months from when programs come out of Alpha, goes Beta and then are released. At this time I would expect a release of Photoshop between June and August, during the back to school market.
