Samyang is going to announce several new lenses in Q1 2010: two version of 35 mm for FF with max aperture f/1.4 for Nikon, Pentax, Sony and maybe Olympus 4/3. The second version with max aperture of f/1.2 will be only for Canon. Canon bayonet has a bigger diameter which will make this possible. It is expected those lenses to be with an ED element and at least one aspherical lens.
Here is the current offering from Samyang on Amazon and their prices.
Full sensor camcorder from Sony: Alpha 1000 coming in 2011. Yes it is fake, but something to think about.

This is the Google translation of the interview. The interesting part:
Q: As many users are interested, I would have to be equipped with a digital SLR camera. 2 the idea of sensitivity so you can take pictures which is twice less noise, I would simply think, including me, what are not going so easily.
A: Yes, because this type 1/2.4 small pixel size has been achieved the sensitivity of two-fold. Digital SLR camera I have I was much more pixel size. It is easy to collect the light from that case, two times the sensitivity of a sudden you’re not.
Mu understand of the last sentence is that the Exmor R sensor will not be so efficient in a DSLR. Anybody got a better translation?
…the Pentax 645D:
This is according to Pentax’s President of US Operations Ned Bunnell. Expected release date: early 2010.
