New Network+ exam coming in December? N10-005

in Network+
Ive seen conflicting info all over the place. But most I have found call it out in December. Does anyone know anything official?
Also, should I wait for and take the 2011 or go for the one I have been studying for (2009)? Just a little confused on when an exam expires, no longer available, etc. What are the major differences between the two. Could I continue studying for 2009 using 2009 study material then just study the newly added sections independently; would suffice for a pass on 2011?
Thanks in advance

I'd rather go ahead and get the cert based on my knowledge now and just study/research any new version info just for my own knowledge. I did notice the 2009 info seems a bit dated so I planned to do that anyway. I'm just too close to test day to be having crap change on me.
I guess I'm good as all my reservation documentation specifically states 2009 version.
The retirement date of N10-004 is supposed to be August 2012.
Really nothing to complain about or fear as there is generally plenty of time to take the exam you began studying for.

'i' before 'e' except after 'c'.... weird?
I would rather take the new one, unles there is a reason not to.
Does anyone know what changes have been made? Whats added, taken out?
There are a lot of simularities with some of the objectives reorgnized (five domains instead of six), and some new content. The OSI model is at the top of the list and the objectives also include the TCP/IP model. Some changes to IPv6 and virtualization topics jump out.
Absolutely. When you schedule the exam specify N10-004 or N10-005. This is the same as the Security+ exam right now where the SY0-201 and SY0-301 exams are both available right now.
