I have discussed this with a couple of my regular photo stores in Toronto (Henry's and Downtown Camera). Downtown camera did confirm that they don't have a clue what Pentax is doing because even the Pentax Rep doesn't really say much.
Apparently when those digibino binocular things were released, Downtown camera didn't know anything about them until their rep came in and plopped a demo unit on the counter and said "digital binoculars" and handed literature and then walked out the door. This was just after they were announced. So it wouldn't surprise me if Pentax did have something up their sleeves but seeing as how they're very tight lipped, I'm not holding my breath either.

No mention of new products. New products wont be mentioned before the show. Pentax is notoriously late in having late embargo dates. There are two possible reasons as to why it's utterly quiet from Pentax. One is that they have nothing to show. The second is that whatever they have to show is under strict embargo. If you're among the pessimistic crowd the first explanation may seem most likely. I would have been among those if it weren't for the fact that no one had stated that Pentax will NOT show a digital slr at Photokina. What I try to say is that having nothing cannot be under embargo.
