taking some of the better ideas posted thus far here is another idea...
Pentax pens a deal with eye-fi for some pro cards... has designed a grip with built in intervalometer, an ipod/pad/android ap, wireless tethering, huge battery capacity and connectivity to the new Pentax gps unit....

They suggested k5 and k7 compatibility, which is why I'm leaning towards the grip... what else is there that would be a Pentax first, that is specific to these two models? They share a battery and a grip... that is it. really...

I'm thinking it would be something released for but not made by pentax... hence released for the k's first then other brands?
Pentax dropped tethering, so a hardware/software wireless tethering solution perhaps also compatible with ipad is in the works...
The post also mentioned manufacturing so it is hardware what ever it is... a grip seems plausible.... may also require a firmware update...
if Pentax releases a grip that can stream wireless video that would be a game changer for Wedding and event shooters!

Cooking with Pooh really made me laugh.
Walt Disney was a diabolical evil genius.
First $400.00 a night for a hotel with a mouse for a mascot, now cooking with pooh....

I love this stuff...
you never know...... I was reading up, the guy has nailed a few rumors in the past...
but the comments got me thinking....
high power grip with wi-fi/gps active memory card slot...? (seems likely since even my k10 has a LOT of contact pins in the grip where only three are actually needed)
af teleconverter to restore old lenses to their original fov...?
dedicated video lens with pull focus gearing?

if you want sunrise colors in the sky, you need to spot meter off the sky, prefereably near the brightes area of the sky then bracket.
