There's unlikely to be further drop in current models prices with this announcement. We're looking at a model that slots into the Pentax line above the K20D. Only when the replacement for that camera is actually announced do I expect to see a deeper discount on that model and the K200 is only ~$100 less. The K2000/Km is unlikely to drop in price, it's damed near brand new.

Any bets on when this camera will hit the market?
I'd guess about Thanksgiving. But I have no idea which year. :-)

It seems like with cameras, they announce quite close to availablity. It seems to me that both the K10 and k20 were available very soon after they were announced (like a matter of a few weeks).

There's no visible price drop on the former models yet. Let's wait for the usual order of announcements:
1) official announcement of model
2) official announcement of availability
3) first market samples
4) first street prices
5) real street prices
6+x) I buy
