I am alone to hear of this special date?
I've not heard, but then, when do Google say anything about new releases? Let me take this chance to echo the call for an monthly advertiser newlstter. ;)
One other feature will that will be available (90% sure) is for you to have keyword insertion enabled creatives in the same ad group with misspelling keywords.
Can't come soon enough for me. :)
1) Tracking results at creative level.
2) Bulk uploads of keywords, creatives etc.
3) Change to allow creatives with insersion code in a group of keywords containing misspellings.
4) Better reporting on multiple transactions originating from the one conversion.
5) More geo-targeting options and regions. Australia and Asia especially.
6) Better handling of changing the CPC to multiple groups/campaigns.
7) Troubleshooting tool: you will enter your URL of landing page and it will tell you why your ad isn't showing (under review, disapproved, disabled keyword etc).
8) Keyword/creative status reporting (ie. "Under Review").
9) Dynamic insertion of keyword into the destination URL.
Some of these are 99% definate, others are more speculative guesses.
