Ezhil, I don’t expect a full PageRank update for at least a few more weeks, and possibly longer.
My idea that Google is waiting until closer into the U.S. holiday season to perform the update is probably a pretty good guess.

Wow, a few more weeks, it could turn out to be a nice Xmas present for some and a sack of coal for others when it does come...

Any reasons for the delay until Christmas? Your guesses?
The holiday season starts at the end of October, and if they do an update then, the next one would be in January, which would make sense.
Thanks for posting Matt's comment. I've been waiting since May for my health blog to lose its PR 0. I want to begin writing sponsored reviews and selling text links, and you need an established page rank to do that.
