The magus, a new base class combining deadly arcane magic with the skills and weapons of a trained warrior.

Any chance the FAQ'd Sound Striker Bard archetype could get in this edition?! PLEASE?! I would absolutely purchase this if that was the case. I have been holding off purchase of this book in hopes that would happen.

Pocket editions are unedited reprints of the latest hardback printing. So, unless Sound Striker was modified in the most recent hardback printing or we have a new printing coming out well before April, it won't be changed in the pocket edition.
It really depends on the demand, my understanding is they would continue to print out the pocket editions for 1st edition for as long as people will still buy them.
Of course, a lot of things have changed in the last few years so they might have changed that.
