A quote from Todd Howard on UESPWiki peaked my interest about future information and got me wondering...

http://www.uesp.net/ (Scroll down to the 'Could This Be It?' news tibit.)

"One thing I can say is that from when you first hear about it to when it's out will be the shortest it's been for us. It's pretty far along. When we show it, we want to show a lot, because there's a lot of game there to play right now.
"You know, if Pete Hines came in and said, "I want you to show it," I'd be like, "Okay, I'm ready to show it." But we've just decided for now not to yet."

Now, Pete Hines has obviously said that they are ready to announce the game, so does this mean, considering that this quote was from five months ago, that they have stuff ready to show now?

Personally I wouldn't be surprised if we get some sort of gameplay video or a bunch of screenshots in the coming week.

Sorry, I had no idea. I checked Bethblog and the official site and they had no mention of it.

Many years, huh? So you guys have been in pre-production since Oblivion?

Many years can mean 3 years.
