New Canon 5D MarkII upgrade?

Come February Canon will be releasing any new kit or upgrades. I currently have a 30D and was/still might be upgrading to a 40D. I have in the past given the 5D some thought but it is getting a bit long in the tooth and wonder if there is likely to be a 5D MkII?

Point is I really feel in a quandary here. The 30D is superb and you might say why change. Well there are some features in the 40D I like plus I can get a good trade in. But.....I thought why not go full-frame? Excellent for landscapes, which I do a lot of, but maybe not so hot for sport, which I also do a lot of.

Then, I thought, if I consider the 5D, why not go the whole hog and get a 1D Mark III. No problems with sport but how is it for portrait and landscape? This is the last upgrade I will do so I need to get it right.

Any thoughts on my thoughts would be appreciated.
