If you put your right hand around the grip, and if you push the shutter button with your index finger, it is at about where the tip of your middle finger will end up. I think a part of the mechanism that control the aperture blades is housed there is what I told.
Ohhhhhhhhh that one on the K-7...completely forgot about it
The pre-lauch rumors about it were pretty funny like it was a secret, not-yet-perfected feature placeholder or something

I'd have to disagree. Look what Sony has done so far. Sure, they lost Beta to VHS...but made "Walkman" a household name like "iPod" is today.
We know for a fact that the PS2 caused a huge boom in DVD sales, and the PS3 is continuing that today since it's (still?) the cheapest Blu-Ray player.
They make the cheapest BR players AND it plays games AND it can be a media server. Around $600 at intro, most BR stand-alone player retailed around that mark next to the PS3. Sony lost money for sure, but were crucial in defeating HD-DVD and the M$/Toshiba partnership.
