FWIW,when I checked in the local shop today the extremely knowledgeable staff,whom I`ve known for years,told me that
Sigma are NOT releasing a 70-300 with OS in Sony Mount since"Sony Dslrs have image stabilisation in body"
It seems only the non OS version is available.
May be worth checking with Sigma but I doubt these guys have got it wrong,

WTF are Minolta A mount film users to do then if this superb lens is not available to them?

NOT what is says here. Seemingly it IS available with OS for the Sony A mount

In that case Roger I`ll remonstrate with he guy who told me that.
He said he got it from the Sigma rep

Apologies to Lawrence for misinformation.
Thanks for the link.

Cheers
