I just made some search and found out that 2006's PMA there was a Pentax
645 Digital:

Did this camera came to retail or it was only a prototype? Maybe this
year's PMA we will get a newer
At PMA 2006 it was a mockup, completely non-functional. PMA 2007 had a
working prototype, but it's not a priority since the Hoya merger and
when or if a production model will arrive is unknown.

The 645D was first mooted about 3-4 years ago. It was apparently being
actively developed for a while but it kept being deferred. However, whenever
it looks as if it has finally been canceled, it seems to pop up in rumors again.
I doubt we'll ever see it go to market.

It is not heavy IMO, just that it isn't lightweight neither.
Sometimes if I go out just for a little walk or something, I remove
the grip or the second battery: it is easier when the camera hangs
around my neck. However, handholding it is no problem at all. It is
just the weight when it hangs

David, do not forget that the grip is made in a similar way the K10D
is made which means it is weather sealed.
It explains why it is more expensive than the istD grip (was 40-50
euros more expensive if I remember correctly).

There is none AFAICT.
In EXIF spec, the shutter speed is written as a division of two integer.
It is easier to just display the values than to interpret them 1/1
