No actual product on shelves yet, but all sorts of reviewers seem to be melting their chamoises about it.
Garmin Edge minisite
I've been using Garmins for cycling since the original eTrex, i.e., before there were cycling GPS units. I currently use the Edge 810 and am pretty pleased with it. But I'm a gadget junkie and will mostly accept any excuse to upgrade. So far I can't see anything in the Edge 1000 to appeal to me except its very slightly larger (0.4") screen.
For Half-Fast Mike:
How about you? See anything you want…?

For Half-Fast Mike:
I don't use virtual partner, live tracking, weather, social media sharing or instant uploads via Smartphone although they're available on my Edge 810.
Battery life for the Edge 1000 is LOWER than on the Edge 810: 15 hours vs. 17 hours. It's heavier, too.
Landscape mode: Why?
MicroUSB cable instead of MiniUSB cable: Still need a cable.
Auto-calculation of round-trip routes, e.g., "give me a 80 km route to ride". That could be useful for some, I guess, but I know my routes or I plan them in advance.
Garmin Connect Segments: playing catchup with Strava. Zzzz.
