There is also a info in regards to new lenses
“2 upgrade lens come out with 1Ds Mark IV, 100-400L F4.0-5.6 IS and 50/F1.4 USM”
The 100-400 will be a hot rumor until it’s actually replaced. Don’t expect a 50 f/1.4 USM upgrade before a revamp of the 35L & 135L.
EF 400 f/4L IS [CR2]
A different source claims Canon has demo versions of a non DO 400 f/4L IS lens in the hands of testers. This is something I heard a few months ago, and it has resurfaced.

It seems a safe bet that Canon will release the next 1Ds model within the next few months. Sales of the 1Ds Mk III have probably slowed to a crawl with the new 5D Mk II about to hit the market with a better sensor, and any pro wanting this body has bought it long ago. Also, Canon’s profits are way down so maybe releasing this expensive body will be a needed shot in the arm for sales.
