Looks like just up on CCO in the last week:

So finally - a 10G 1RU SFP+ access device.  It seem to be targeted at 
enterprise aggregation but I imagine would have some appeal in service 
provide space too given the form factor and the fact that the only 10G 
alternates are 3560E-12D's (with X2), Nexus, and upwards from there is 
of course the 4500/6500 chassis based units.

Running IOS XE, has no MPLS (not surprising), and no release notes as of 
yet it seems.  No idea of list price either at this stage.
