I do wonder after all these are done, are they going to move on to 3 class 777 or 747 ?

That's my understanding (5 non-AVOD 777s are to be untouched). This may go this way for the next 3 years, until 380s and 350s come. OZ has 2 more 777s to come in between, which may (heard from somewhere) have 3-class quadra product, which is again a new config.

I found this article in the Australian Business Traveller website:
http://www.ausbt.com.au/asiana-s-bus...eoul-next-year
According to this article, the quadra smartium seats will be extended to London, Paris, New York, and Sydney by the end of 2011.

SFO all Quadra after May?
Is this based on some inside information, besides article quoted above?

My LAX-ICN flight of June 8, which originally had the old-style C class seatmap, recently changed to the QS seatmap.
June 8 is a Thursday flight, which is not identified as a QS flight in the current schedule effective to March 26.
So this appears to be empirical evidence that either (1) OZ plans to shift QS flights LAX-ICN to different days, or (2) expand QS service LAX-ICN to more days in June.

In fact from June, all 777 flights to LAX and SFO now show quadra business class. To/From SFO, all flights are now secured with this product.
For LAX, OZ 203/204 only (all dates/days are based on ICN departure. Should be next day from LAX)
Now - Apr 23rd: only the days when there's no SFO flight will see quadra seats. Thus, Mo/Th/Sa till late March, Mo/Th from late March since when OZ adds Saturday SFO flight.
Apr 24th - May 20th: 6xw except Friday flights (Saturday from LAX).
May 21st and after: daily

I noticed that on both my flights, I could only reserve Seats 3A&K, Row 4 and Row 5 A&K. Was hoping to snag one of the middle seats that are together since I'm traveling with my wife. Anyone else running into the same issue?
