<-drool I'm 99% certain that you will be disappointed, I believe that the K200D will be the last AA (in-camera) powered body. The variable voltages from all the different AA battery systems is the challenge, it needs expensive and power wasting regulation circuits that a dedicated Li-Ion system doesn't need due to a defined and closer voltage range tolerance.
But I suspect that we will see more CMOS sensors from Samsung in other bodies, if for no other reason than to have Live View which seems de-rigeur in DSLR's now, unless they go in for a system similar to Sony's A-350 Live View, which I doubt.
Whether they will use the same sensor across the board with less body features or develop another sensor remains to be seen. My own take is that they will have a fast readout version of the current sensor to give higher frame rates and use the existing (or modified variant) one in lower models, together with body spec variations.
I think that AA's in grips may well become available, like they are with Nikon, as you can build regulators into the grip that control the feed voltage.
