Dare I ask how much these things will cost?

From reading the preview, it sounds like it will be more than just money.
If I were to speculate, I would guess it will be similar to the early armor upgrade quest-line, requiring a mixture of expenses, grinding and instance boss(es).

If you watch the video, they explain that you can get them from Questing, Shopkeepers, Reputation, or combinations of those.
edit: and to throw in my own two cents, I think there will probably be one major path available for each gamestyle. So solo/small group players will probably have something like the 0.5 quest, as you say, PvP guys will probably get access to a PvP version of the mount, raiders might get it from having high reputation with a certain raid-faction.
Clearly they are very different from the Epic Mounts in that they are necessary for large chunks of content, so I suspect they'll be easier to get than some of the most cynical expect. I expect they'll be actually cheaper than normal epic mounts, but require more "effort" in the sense of having to do long, complex quest lines like the Onyxia chain.

I wouldn't mind having to do a quest for this....looks neat to me:)

Me neither... as long as it's nothing like the Onyxia chain.

RE Onyxia Chain:
I actually loved that chain and wished I were Horde so it would have been more involved. It had a great backstory to it and the events after Windsor's freedom were a sight to see back in the day when it wasn't happening on an hourly basis.
RE Cost:
The rumor I've been hearing is 2,000g. I'd say that's about appropriate for ownership of a Nether Drake.

I feel compelled to point out that warlocks get their epics mounts through a quest chain that has steps like, "bring me 200g,"--so there's a precedent for a quest-as-moneysink method to procure a mount. That having been said, the final event from the warlock questline is one of my most favorite fights out of the entire game.
I wonder if there will be any class-specific mounts?

If so, should gnomes be looking forward to ornithopters or mechanical dragonflies?
