Pentax Q discontinued ?

 

According to RayGunn, (member of pentax forum) B&H rep told him that Pentax Q has been discontinued by the manufacturer,

I have just, this morning, been told the Pentax Q has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Went to the B&H website last night to order the Pentax Q, because of the latest price announced here, but the Q was nowhere to be found on their website. I did see the 02 lens price increased from $252 to $399, though.
When I called B&H this morning, I asked the salesman to order the Pentax Q for me, at the newly announced “low” price. After a short wait, he told me it wasn’t on any of his lists and must be temporarily out of stock. I asked him to check on when more stock was expected and he placed me on hold. After about a three minute wait, he came back
on the line and told me his manager told him the Pentax Q has been discontinued by the manufacturer.

So, the question I now have is: Is the Q completely discontinued or will there be a new model?

P.S.
Pentax Q is still available at Amazon Silver Pentax Q @ $539.99 / Black Pentax Q @ $523.50
