I thought they had a couple of adventurers in the pipeline?
I'd be surprised if we didn't see more material in Dragon and Dungeon magaizne.
This is another case where I hope WoTC opens the doors a little more so that some of the elements of the setting can be used via 3rd party. I know it helped Arcana Unearthed as several players went in when a friend started GMing the Siege of Ebonring Keep.

they don't want to flood the market.
they want to see if the initial sales go as well as predicted.
they don't have gads of cash laying around to print up oodles of books.
you can run a whole bunch of scenarios as to why...

Yep, two adventures and a sourcebook on Sharn other than that at least 3 adventures we know of for Dungeon and a poster map in Dungeon as well.
As to quantity, what we are getting in the next few months... it is more than the Forgotten Realms fanas are getting and when you consider that WOTC has to split its RPG budget between 5 lines and still make a profit that means only a few products a year. They also aren't doing what TSR did in that they aren't going to start flooding the market with support material before they even know if the setting is going to do good. Birthrightm while a good setting, was a commercial failure but well supported in its first few months by TSR. I don't think WOTC want another Birthright, which I like by the way.
I imagine we will get 4-5 books a year for Eberron just like we get for the FOrgotten Realms and Star Wars, but definitely more than we get for D20 Modern...

In addition to the Sharn sourcebook, two 22-page adventures, and at least one other sourcebook that I've heard vague mumblings about, there are some novels underway. I believe the novels are by Keith Baker and Matt Forbeck, but I've only heard specifics about Matt's.
Eberron adventures are starting in 113 (which also features a fold-out map) and will continue on a semi-regular basis. (Just in case people who love other campaign settings are worried about this, the campaign setting book has proven that Eberron is close enough to mainstream D&D to keep the adventures useful.)
D&D Online will be set on Eberron's "lost continent" of Xen'drik, and Liquid's D&D real-time strategy game will take place in Xen'drik and Khorvaire.
After that, it all depends on the success of the line. I'm hoping for the best!
