Hi Jim, Thanks for asking!
The publisher just changed the "expected" date from July to June because we're actually ahead of schedule. :-)
Jonathan and I are reviewing the final proofs now and are hoping to be finished by the end of this week. The publisher estimates that the hard-copy book will take 3 weeks to produce once we have our final edits in (so that puts the release date back into July. The ways of the publisher are mysterious). I imagine the PDF version will be made available very soon after final edits are in.
We're taking great care during this last proofing step to ensure that we eliminate typos and other errors (although I don't expect it to be absolutely perfect. These things never are).
The book is already available for pre-order on the publisher's site at http://packtpub.com/jquery/book and on a few booksellers' sites, including amazon.co.uk (not sure why amazon.com doesn't have it up on their site yet). There is also a special deal if you want to buy the hard-copy/pdf bundle.

Just curious if there are any updates about the jQuery book? The site says "Expected June 2007" and June is almost over :) Thanks, Jim
