It may well be that Blizzard first started working on D3 in '01, but later scrapped it and started all over again. Wouldn't be unheard of with them, quality is a top priority for Blizz after all.
There was a rumor in 2004 that Blizzard North was working on Diablo 3 since 2001. They had almost finished Diablo 3, but Blizzard did not like their version so Blizzard scraped all the work and fired Blizzard North team.
At that time I found it hard to believe in, but now it all makes sense.
Blizzard North was working on Diablo 3 since 2001. They nearly completed D3 (in 2004), but Blizzard was not happy with it, so Blizzard North team was fired. Then Blizzard started developing Diablo 3 from scrap.
I hope they'll release it by Christmas 2009.
Or maybe they'll release it on 10th anniversary of Diablo 2 (29. 06. 2010.).

Well the whole problem was Vivendi, though they, as you said, did cancel a "Blizzard North game"(Diablo).

I don't see why anyone would want to play it on a bloody console.
WTF? "The youthfull wizard"?? Wizards are normally old and insanelly powerfull not some aprentice...DANG! SEE? This is already fault of the console public target..the wizard got younger
Forgot to ask: Who tha F**k wants to play diablo 3 with a friggin harry potter character besides..er..harry potter kiddie fans?

The Wizard is the shit. I loved the sorceress in D2, and I'll be playing as the wizard in D3. The slow time spell looks terrific. But it made me wonder, why when the enemies cast those fireballs(or w/e, they look like purple fireballs) the slow-time spell slows them down, but when you cast a fireball it doesn't slow down.
but still this one looks like crappy WOW , need dirt or darker theme not a kiddie color wonder land

Blizzard's new happy-go-lucky art direction fucking sucks. OK Blizzard, we know that the majority of your market now consists of preteens, cheating soccer moms, and stay-at-home daddies, but for FUCK'S SAKE this is Diablo - not Barbie's playhouse. Grit, blood, death and doom. Remember your other market - the one that kept you on your feet and kept you going before WoW. We're still out there....

LOL at the art critics. This game looks amazing, stylish and still dark and gritty with awesome physics, random events and more. Going to be so fucking awesome.
I hope they have some balance for that time slow bubble...kinda cheap in PvP if you can just slow everything coming at you. Hopefully there are plenty of "cannot be slowed" attributes in later game stages, the only problem with that is that your time slow bubble becomes a bunch of wasted skill points.
My main complaint so far is that the game looks to easy.
Yeah I expect Starcraft 2 maybe first or second quarter 2009, and Diablo 3 fourth quarter 2009 at the earliest, but first or second quarter 2010 is more likely.
They will take their time to make this game absolutely awesome, and there will be a long beta as always to make sure everything is balanced enough, so it's going to take a long time for this to get released.
