Though not as much as I look forward to seeing the psion if they can get him to stop crying in the corner.
Indeed. The psion is supposed to make others cry in the corner, preferably from a hefty Psychic Crush.

Bruce: Wizards have magical feats (at-will, always available). Hold on to higher spells until needed.
Rob: We could bring back a whole raft of at-wills from 4e, and make those type of things Wizard feats. There are also magical feats that are non-combat oriented. Different frequency rates, as well (encounter).
Perhaps you'll be able to swap out feats as you level up.So feats could essentially wind up being an alternate way of learning spells, i.e. smaller spells the wizard knows so well he doesn't have to prep them. I think that could be interesting, if they're not too conservative with it.
The only draw back to this is that there will probably be a hard cap on feats. One thing that always bothered me about the last couple of editions that you only got a pretty conservative number of feat slots but they just kept churning out more and more feats, a lot of them interesting, but because there were so many and you had access to so few most of them were never going to get used.

Actually, I'm not sure we'll see a dedicated psion class in the PHB1. After all, it has never been a PHB1 class in any edition. They mentioned "wild talents," but that's something quite different, harking back to the 1E DMG where there was a small chance for your character to have a random psionic ability.
...psst, it was the PH, appendix A.
I'm pretty sure that the 4e Warlock had some summoning in its repertoire, but I honestly cannot recall how much.
The E-lock had the ability to summon devils, yes. The PHB one, not so much iirc.
