It's an SDHC card, an indication that the SDHC specification is being adopted by more than just Sandisk (a good thing), which will be compatible in the DS/DL bodies when Pentax releases a firmware update to support it according to the post that Shel made recently regarding 4G SD card compatibility. I've seen no mention of SDHC specifically in connection with the K100D or upcoming 10Mpixel bodies, but if they don't support SDHC out of the box I expect they'll also have a firmware update released to support them. SDHC is fully compatible electrically with current SD card slots. The only question is whether a given device with an SD card slot has firmware upgradeable drivers that can be updated to access the SDHC card properly. Pentax DSLR cameras all do.
