Starcraft 2 was announced almost exactly one year ago. Both projects were being worked on in secret for some time before. It is not looking, to me, like we are getting SC2 by this Christmas.
Assuming (one hell of an assumption, I know), that both projects were at the same level of development when announced and required same amount of work, and have same number of developers working on them, I would not expect D3 to come out by next Christmas either.
Ranger - Ranged Weapon Mastery (fire a bow or javelins like a machine gun!), Traps (MK style!), Pets (lions, tigers, and bears oh my!) - physical damage based
Demonologist - Bone Spells (Necro style!), Avatar (shapeshift into a demon!), Furies (evil spirits that hang around you, giving party bonuses) - mix of physical damage and magic
LEAP ATTACK!!!!! PLAGUE OF TOADS!!!!!
SLOW TIME!!!!!

Starcraft 2 has already been announced for release sometime this December. The date is set for that, unless they need to delay it for some reason.
I would say a year and a half from this point until D3 is released.
maybe Bizz will release both of them at the same time:)
People generally only have so much money to spend on a game at a time. Releasing both at once would cause a lot of people that otherwise would have bought both, buy only one. That's a marketing mistake and blizzard knows it.
I have no real estimate.. I hope they spend enough time on it to get it just the way I want it. But getting it before 2010 would be nice.

SC2 will most likely be released this Christmas according to Bestbuy.
Im guessing D3 to be earliest mid 09 but i think its going to be late 09 to early 10.
Guys put it this way SC2 was a huge thing and many peolpe wanted it but they wont release it until its inished and fully polished to the cries of us...hey thy will probably listen to us because hey WERE ON DIablo 3.com if you look at the sidebar it gives a link to this site so they may be looking to us for suggestions without asking....and the release date for SC2 took about a year after the announcment i wouldnt be surprised if it comes out next christmas summer 2010 at most and at the least summer or spring next year it def wont be done by christmas 08 and hpefully they give us something new and exciting everymonth so we can look foward to the game maybe a gameplay fotage every month with 1 of the new classes to show how this game is better than d2 and to MAKE US PUMPED FOR THE RELEASE

Kinda hard to announce the official release date, when they haven't even announced the beta date.
I just take the information as I see it. The release date was there, so BOOM, I am giving it to you.

If it's not on the Blizzard site or wikipedia, don't believe it.
