I'd be very surprised to see anything any time soon, for one simple 
reason: m5 is full of bugs, but is almost usable. A newer, more stable 
release would be usable, just. If they released it, someone would 
instantly slap it on a phone and go into production, simply to cash in 
on the Google brand.

And it would suck, because it's not finished.

So rather than generate the huge amount of bad press that would cause, I 
think they'd be far more likely to generate a small amount of bad press 
instead by keeping things quiet until they have something that *really* 
works, and then making the announcement as a real device and SDK go into 
production. m3 and m5 have achieved their purpose; there are a lot of 
programmers out there who know enough about the OS to write apps on it, 
and they've sourced a reasonable number of private beta testers.
