im guessing Q4 this year. nVIDIA will want to start selling DX10 a few months ahead of Vista to reduce the instant high demand for them when Vista releases.
7 series does not support dx10, pero its ok if youre like me who buys mid range cards only. as 8 series midrange ( most probably 8600gt will arrive later than the initial 8 series release, like the 7600gt which came almost a year after the first 7800 was released)

my guess is this year b4 x-mas, gets lots of money that way @TheGamer are you sure because thats next month
i am not saying anything myself .. just look at those links ...though you might notice that the articles are a bit old .... but my guess is around september or october or maybe later if vista is delayed further .... But then again u can't ignore those articles either since they come from reliable sources ..but june seems to near to be true ...
i wouldnt suggest buying DX10 fresh out of the oven. it'll have the most unrefined version of DX10, there'll be a lack of games that use it and it'll be expensive too. just buy high end G71 and wait until Vista, AM2/Conroe and the next generation of stuff cools down into reasonable pricing and has proper support before purchasing.
