Even if the *ist D is in the price range of the 10D (not "D10"), it won't make too much of a difference. Canon already has a "Rebel D" in the works. They are announcing it sometime this fall. A "consumer" based DSLR with a smaller feature set and not as robust a body as the 10D. Price? $800 USD Street.
The *ist D still has yet to see the light of day unfortunately.
