Pentax had an article on this. They said most, if not all, dust can be removed fine with the current DR system. But there might be a case wherein dust/speck might be oily or sticky for some reason, then this lollypop might be useful. BTW, it is not an ultrasonic cleaning but rather a combination of slippery surface coating of low pass filter, combined with the (probably high frequency) shaking and physical "knocking" of the sensor, utilizing the SR system. In the recent interview, Pentax stated that you probably do not have to worry about the dust for the life of the camera. But occasional blow or cleaning of the sensor should not hurt either.
