I think it's already here and has been for years.

Says "smugmugpro_teaser_AC-min-20090220" so I suspect someone very active on Smugmug posted the link.

Maybe it is not the pro hosting plan they already have, but a new site. There have been rumours they were thinking of entering the stock photography market, so if this is it, they will probably have submission inspections and free storage.

Interesting move if they do get in. They are one of the few who have the expertise to do so. It may of course fail like most others, but they probably have the resources to keep it going for a few years. That's very important, since nothing is going to succeed overnight in today's market.
