My best guess would be that we are in for a smallish price cut pretty soon. My guess would be that by the end of March to beginning of Aprill it will be $1199. By August I would bet it will be around 1099$ with 999$ being just as likely. By August it will have been out a widely available for longer than a year so a new one ill probably be announced around that time which will drive prices down. That is all just speculation but I do think that you could get one for 1099$ easily by then. Heck...not too long ago a few places were selling them with a rebate for 999$ it may be sooner rather than later when a larger price cut happens.
