There is a good article in the Airway September issue on winglets:
757 range with winglets increased to 200mi
Annual fuel savings of 300,000 gallons
Continental ordered winglets for its fleet of 41 757-200's
The 1000th winglet has been ordered by American
They are testing winglets for the 777
Icelandair has ordered winglets, they should see savings to pay for the winglets in 2 years.

Winglet Revolution
by Haas Mroue
To the untrained eye, winglets look sexy and downright elegant—aircraft without them suddenly seem less modern, a bit dated. On a sunny day early in May, an American Airlines Boeing 757-200 rolled out of AA’s maintenance base in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The pair of winglets that went onto the American 757 happens to be special: it is the 1,000th shipset to be delivered by Aviation Partners Boeing.
