Not in stock yet, obviously, but it's listed. And the price as of May 20, 2009 at 07:55 is...$1,199.95 !!!!!
I wrote that correctly: $1,200 minus change. Wow, I am impressed. Expected release date: July.
Here are the specs. I think some people are going to be pissed off at the fps...and I'm still not seeing anything about custom AF adjustments. If anyone cares, the external mic is stereo (I think the internal is mono).

shame there is no pre-order button!! I would order today! As long as AF speed is really improved and 5.2FPS good enough for me! Just a shame on the x-sync. Also this seems to be price for body only?
will look so nice on my 300

I looked yesterday and called and it wasn't there yet. Im seriously considering it.

"As long as AF speed is really improved"
Amen to that brother. My biggest gripe is AF speed in low light.
May be time to upgrade the K10

My K10D is getting a little long in the tooth now that I see the new K7... I did not see either of the new WR kit lenses on the site yet. Wonder how much they will be?
