Pentax DA* lenses here?

Is it true? the DA* lenses are finally here?
This comes from Ned Bunnell, the marketing VP for Pentax USA so I’m assuming it’s reliable…<grin>

NED BUNNELL: SDM Lenses Shipping

of course there is no further information. Is this a worldwide release, or just certain countries? are the actually in the stores, or is this just Pentaxes announcement that they are shipping from the factories….

come on man, details!
