I think it got canc'd. www.fas.org still says that they are going to field thme in 2002 and I don't think I've heard anything about them. Proabably all the money got tied up in the JSF like how they scaled back the F-22

Comanch cancelled feb 2004 according to global security (http://www.globalsecurity.org/org/news/2004/040223-comanche02.htm)

So that means Apaches and Cobras will stay for at least for another decade

Looks like it. The doctrine, I'm assuming, is that the F-22 and the JSF will maintain air dominance not requiring the helicopters to be stealth because the chief thing that shoots them down is dumb fire weapons ie AK's and RPG's.

If they get a new one I would imagine it will be better armored and a little slower. During the Ospreys develpoment it was supposed to have an attack variant like the AC-130 Spectre.
