Its advantages over 35mm are that of cost but its still more expensive than APS-C. But I am not sure the image quality benefits of APS-H over APS-C are enough to mitigate this cost increase.
I think that the APS-H creates a nice niche for Pentax. It is better quality than 1.5x, can use the DA lenses (I hope), but would be cheaper than the Canon or Nikon line of FF cameras.
If Pentax bring out a FF camera, I would feel a little screwed - my DA lenses become a dead end. This is one of the problems with Canon/Nikon - if I went with one of those I would feel like I needed to go FF, as their APS cameras seem to be a dead end.
