From the New York Times:

Because of its remote location, 600 miles off the northern coast of Brazil, it was expected to take eight to 10 days before the data recorder’s memory unit could be transported — first by boat, then by plane — to Paris, where investigators will attempt to download the information it contains.
So maybe, letīs say, 20 days before some news? How much time until some reading is done (if the memory chip is in good state)?

"Ile de Sein" took only three days to reach itīs present location from Recife, Brazil. So I believe the transport ship is coming from another place (France?), and heading there after meeting the "Ile".

This is also interesting:

After three failed searches, a team of oceanographers located the wreckage last month, barely six miles from the plane’s last known location.
I havenīt seen this information before.
