Haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere else, but I can confirm that all my new sites have been granted PageRank for the first time.
My initial reaction is that PR seems a bit diluted this time around (in other words, PR isn’t spreading as nicely as it has in the past).
[...] So far, the news is that many 4-6 month old sites are showing PR in the toolbar for the first time, but also that many older sites have dropped down to PR 0. [...]
Where do you check your page ranks? I’ve noticed changes and discrepancies on the majority of my Google Toolbar PageRank indicator .. but on every Page Rank checker site I have in my bookmarks – nothing seemed to have changed since October 2006.
thanks 
[...] I found out today that Google is working on another PR update. [...]
Updates for PR has begun. Word is early April 07 – but that’s just the word….
PR is only good for entertainment purposes and link grabbers – it’s pretty useless for anything else, as it’s easily manipulated, just like Alexa rank.

I had the same diluted experience. I’m happier to see that a bunch of sites I purchased and only started linking to two days ago are already in the index
