So, from looking in from just a little bit outside, this is what I saw...
1) They hired another company to develop Gleemax, Game Table, all kinds of things... as a general rule, all of those were half-finished and _not functional_
2) They hired an in house development team
3) The game table was getting pretty far along but still crashed very often. Rumors said that they were having to redo the code (the impression I got was basically entirely) to fix stability and usability issues
4) They publicly announced that there was no longer an ETA on the game table or visualizer and they were only going to announce things that had a chance of being out soon
5) They did a poll available to anyone who visited their site, advertised on enworld, asking what people wanted. The online game table was well desired, but at least 3rd place, if memory serves.
6) We've got a character builder, adventure tools, etc. As time goes on we'll get great tools, but I'd assume the game table will either not happen (if the market for it is insufficient by the time resources are available) or will happen in, say, 2-3 years.
In the meantime, maptools is simply amazing for a free tool. Give it a shot.
