I read that the K-5 will have AF in Video!!!
On the German Homepage they write Vodeo with AF

We will see...maybe a mistake....but i don´t think so.

I would bet that even if the K5 doesn't have it on release, this is something that will be added in a firmware update. This could be a huge separation between the D7000 and the K5 otherwise. If you can have autofocus with live view, it seems like it should be reasonable to expect it to be present for video (understanding that it may not be perfect at times and well used manual focus is better).

Would be nice to record the focus hunting and asked Pentax for feedback...

The first series of K-7 had AF in Video!!!
Also they had AF-A.
But only in Firmware 0.3.
I hope that the manual mode will comes in video per update.
When not.....it will be a very bad joke.....very bad

"Vodeo" has been corrected to "Video" but the text still claims that there is AF during Video. Encouraging for those who are after AF during Video.
