You heard it from a rep.

Skip to 2:33 if you're impatient.

I doubt it. Sigma and Tamron already have lenses that have "internal optical stabilization" that are also "available for all mounts, including Pentaxes and Sonys".

It's just that the ones for Pentax/Sony don't have OIS in them (even though they cost the same, which is a ripoff) :-p

On the other hand, I don't know what the advantage would be, unless you're talking about using this with earlier Pentax D(SLR)s that don't have built-in OIS>
