Because of the number of DA lenses around, I highly doubt that an APS-H SLR will ever come out. It's either FF for those that have FA lenses or APS-C for those with DA lenses. Personally, though, I think Pentax has given up permanently on FF
The 1.3x crop factor on the DA*'s is just there to improve IQ.
$300 really degrades the concept of an SLR, but considering today's production costs, it's feasible. Probably won't be 10MP, though.
Built-in WiFi or Bluetooth would be very nice for a pro SLR, but why add a GPS? It would drain power, make the camera clumsier, and, worst of all, not always work.
Oh, and the 645D is rumored to cost around $5k.
