I think I know less after watching that interview, than I did before...

Subtitles were hard to read sometimes, but what I got (not necessarily
in order):
1. smc PENTAX-DA 560mm f/5.6 will not cover "full frame"; that's why
it's DA, and not FA.
2. smc PENTAX-DA 50mm f/1.8 will not replace the smc PENTAX-FA 50mm f/1.4.
Side Note: He doesn't pronounce BOKEH the way I was told I'm supposed to
pronounce it "because it's a Japanese word and that's the way 'THEY'
pronounce it in Japan." He pronounces it the way I was pronouncing it
before I was corrected. Go figure.
3. smc PENTAX-35mm f/2 will remain in production.
4. There will be no electronic viewfinder module for the K-01, but a
future firmware revision will make the O-GPS1 module usable with it. Not
clear if that's K-01 firmware or O-GPS1 firmware.
5. Pentax is working on "secret" stuff, but he can't say anything about
that 'cause it's SECRET.
