The official story is that the A1000 will remain available as long as there
is sufficient demand to justify marketing it.  On the other hand, with the
pricing and features of the A500 and A2000, it is generally expected that
there will be little demand for the A1000.

The A500 is intended to list for much less than the A1000, while the base A2000
is supposed to sell in the same category as the A1000.  This leaves the A1000
in a odd-man-out marketing position.
