Maybe it's a little sticker saying "Nikon" to go over "Pentax" on the K7/K5 thus saving ridiculous "Why are you shooting with a Pentax?" glances from other photographers, and also ensuring great reviews in the Photography Press.
If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

I think it's a new kind of strap.

Or some kind of tripod/monopod alternative.

Tripod/portapotty hybrid? in case you have to go while on the go?
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

I think it's a head-strap mount, to make it into a helmet cam!!
Or possibly not...

Interesting to see them backpedalling in the most recent post - it's gone from "DSLR users might ask themselves how they managed without one for so long." to "Some will like it and some won't."
I think they may be realising that their early hype is in danger of turning off potential buyers who're now expecting a hologram generator which fits to the hotshoe and projects an AI version of a great photographer of your choice to advise you, and will in fact be getting something like a strap/case/support!

If it turns out to be something redonculous like peel and stick grid screens for your lcd, I'm gonna go all Ricehigh and blame it on Pentax... last round of shows every manufacturer announced new stuff... Pentax rented a booth to show us.... new paint on the old stuff, and a lens that costs as much as a car for a camera that costs as much as a house.. Clearly my "I need more stuff" inner-child is not getting spoiled by Pentax.

A Tripotty if you will. Or perhaps a Portapod.Tripod/portapotty hybrid? in case you have to go while on the go?
I think you're onto a winner here Don, Dragon's Den beckons!
I should say though that we shouldn't let this thread get too silly. We all know what happens when threads get silly...

Why am I now thinking of the "Bumper Dumper" as seen on the Top Gear Arctic Expedition, but attached to a tripod rather than a Toyota Hilux...
