Could a Fuji Film Sensor be in Pentax's Future?

Maybe we will see a march back to CCD technology:

Great news for DA glass

I hope so.. Maybe Hoya should make a bid for or merge with Fuji.. Pentax then would have it made.. Top glass from Hoya for it's lenes! Cutting edge sensors APS-C from fuji it would be an all Japaness imaging company. This could be possible since there is talk that fuji might get out of the very crowdered DSLR race.. And just do P&S camera's which Fuji Make the best going around! Pentax is letting go of P&S. HOYA PENTAX FUJI HD corp?

Sorry to rain on your parade, but read the last paragraph of the following: Fuji promises better than F31 performance: Digital Photography Review

a) Fuji does not plan on using its SuperCCD EXR technology in APS-C-sized sensors, but only in compacts.

b) Fuji does not plan to sell/license the technology to other companies. (As a matter of fact, Thom Hogan says rumors has it Fuji did offer the tech to someone else, but the asking price was way too steep).
