the company stressed that the first products to combine general purpose and graphics processors will be produced in early 2009.

Not to rub you the wrong way or anything, but what do you think the chances are of AMD hitting a schedule 2 years out?

My opinion is absolutely zero.

The reporter asked Hester when they would be available and he said, "2010". The reporter totally misunderstood, the reporter DID NOT ASK HIM if they would be available in 2009, also. Clearly the fault of the press.

Essentially this is nothing else than Phil said. "Production" in AMD-terms is when the design is in the fab. Which is tapeout plus the time it needs to have the first mask. Was ever so.
