Update: The PS Blog has now posted the following message regarding their PSN restoration timeline update, to quote:

"I know you all want to know exactly when the services will be
restored. At this time, I can't give you an exact date, as it will
likely be at least a few more days. We're terribly sorry for the
inconvenience and appreciate your patience as we work through this
process."

Today Bloomberg (linked above) reports that Sony expects PSN services, including Qriocity, to be fully restored by May 31, 2011.

To quote: "Sony Corp.'s PlayStation Network and Qriocity online services remain shut as of today, Shigenori Yoshida, a Tokyo-based spokesman said. Sony is uncertain when it can resume the services, Yoshida said by phone today.

The company is in the process of adopting an improved security system
and its plan to restart the services fully by May 31 is unchanged, he
said. Sony shut down the PlayStation Network and Qriocity services April
20 because of possible data theft by hackers.

The maker of PS consoles had planned to restart partial operations within a week after boosting the level of security system, the company said May 1."
