In a casual reference, back when 3.5 was coming out, Andy Collins said that there were currently no plans *in action* for a 4E and that the best guess was that it would come around no earlier than 2008.
An important thing to rememeber, however, is that regardless of what the plans are in 2004, they can change drastically and in very rapid bursts when a large company like Hasbro owns WotC. I, personally, am not looking forward to 4.0. The odds are that it will not feature as much playtesting as 3.0 did (Hasbro is unliekly to be as patient - profit before perfection), so we'll see a lot more rules problems with the changes.
