It will be interesting as to how it compares in price/performance
to the nikon offering. Does anyone have any more info on this lens?

Appears to be full frame not Nikon DX type. I have heard a price
in the 7-800 dollar range.

I'm not familiar with Sigma lenses. What does EX and DG stand for
in the lens name? A while ago I read another post about the lens
(in the Nikon SLR lens forum, I guess) and I got the impression
that the lens would be similar to Nikons DX lenses, i.e. not
suitable for full frame. Still, it's an interesting new lens in a
range I'd like to have and I can't wait to see the lens in action
when it comes out.

IMHO Sigma lenses are not half as good as the
Nikon originals. I recently bought a 14 mm , but
the difference between Nikon and this Sigma shows
best when shooting jpegs. The Nikon's give good, sharp
results, whereas the Sigma for me only is useable when
shooting Nef's. The loss in sharpness and detail in jpeg is
awfull !
If you have the cash, go for the originals, you won't regret !!
