Nothing much will happen until January 2012, although candidates will try to raise money and "feel" people out before then,

Presidential campaigns begin in September, following the national convention. Many candidates do informal campaigning before that point, but official campaigning for official candidates begins after the nominating convention.

The primaries have come and gone. The 2008 primary season began in New Hampshire on January 8. States decide (possibly with input from the major party organizations) their own primary dates. In my opinion, even as a NH native, I think they start too early and are not well-run. Primaries are not discussed in the Constitution, and so the states are free to handle them as they will. We need a better way of choosing political talent that allows non-mega-rich individuals to compete on a par with the rich. We need to stop allowing people to be able to purchase the office of president.

The first primary events occur in January of election years. Most candidates begin long before that to see how much support they have and to set up an organization to raise funds and run a campaign. Some have funds and the nucleus of an organization left over from past campaigns.
