It's standard press release-speak: Try to sound like you're saying
something while concealing as much as possible. They aren't going to
reveal future plans in any venue where their competitors can read it.
I don't even bother reading most of these things any more.
I agree. There was definitely a lot of corporate-speak in there.
However, in their case, announcing their plans couldn't conceivably
hurt them unless they failed to follow through.
For instance, if they were developing a FF body, to say so would
somewhat quiet the talk about not having anyone, and it's not like
anything Pentax could do would worry the competition. To say they were
dumping the K-mount for EVIL mirror-less cameras, would not affect the
competition.
Exactly. I was about to post something along similar lines.
Telling the market that a FF was under development and would be
expected in early 2013 (say) might stop a few people jumping ship and
would hardly be likely to give some market advantage to competitors.
It's not as if Pentax is ahead of the game here.
But I probably don't understand marketing...

To say 'we don't know' only makes them appear unsure and indecisive
(which may be the case).
