The firmware is available on this site: https://network.pentax.eu. You have to be a registered user in order to download the software.

Casio decided to show their new and unannounced camera on huge billboards in Las Vegas few days before CES:

According to Engadget the new Casio camera is called TRYX:

“Casio TRYX imager sports two hinges for the sake of versatility: one for the frame that doubles as a handle or a stand, and one for swiveling the display — presumably a touchscreen since there are just a couple of buttons on the body.”
