I was a little confused when I saw Pathfinder Companion added to the product line. We've already got Pathfinder, Pathfinder Chronicles, and tons of other supporting products. Why add yet another line of books?

If I remember correctly, Pathfinder Companion is destined to be player-friendly material. So Paizo has four major product lines, I believe:
Pathfinder:
Adventure Paths, for GMs with a few articles that may be player friendly.
Pathfinder Chronicles:
Information on the setting of Golarion, generally very useful for DMs, but might still be somewhat good for players, such as the Guide to Korvosa, which is mostly player-friendly.
Pathfinder Modules:
One-shot adventures. Needless to say, GMs only.
Pathfinder Companion:
As far as I know, these contain player resources for the current adventure path.
That's what I've got, hope it was helpful!

Close. Pathfinder Companion will be a bi-monthly, 32-page resource that is both GM- and player-friendly. Twice a year, it'll most likely focus on the current Adventure Path, but other Companions will cover topics and themes like "Elves of Golarion" or "Darklands" or "Thieves Guilds of Golarion" and so on.
Companions will have a lot of crunch--a lot more crunch compared to, say, the Guide to Korvosa, which is from the Pathfinder Chronicles line and is more geared toward flavor.
"Darklands" or "Thieves Guilds of Golarion"
Are you officially announcing these to be released at some point in the future (not necessarily immediately after Osirion)? :D
Nope.
Nope.
Dang.
Lol... love the one world answers. :)
Yup.
Huh?
"Thieves Guilds of Golarion" FTW.
