According to Canonrumors “Canon attempted to purchase Pentax. There’s a concern within Canon about Sony’s position in the DSLR market. They’re proving to be very committed in gaining marketshare. It was insinuated that Sony has interest in Pentax and its user base, whereas Canon doesn’t necessarily want the same thing.”
I didn’t hear anything about a possible Pentax acquisition. What I am certain about is that Hoya Founder’s Grandson said that Pentax acquisition has been a “Failure”. (Bloomberg)
Maybe Sony should learn from Pentax last years product and marketing strategy. Their Pentax K-x

I hope they stay away from the slow Pentax cameras…don’t think it do any good. Pentax has some great lenses, but they still suffer from slow AF…
I know far more people using Sony than using Pentax. Sony wouldn’t gain anything…
though unlikely to happen, i do agree very much that K-x is a very good DSLR and gains applauses from professionals and market… Sony has to think about the balance of quantity and quality of their product strategies..
