I'm new to the Pathfinder phenoma, and I have a couple of questions before deciding to jump feet first into the new RPG. Thanks for your time.
Will there be a new Paizo campaign setting designed specifically for the new RPG?
If there won't be, and I want to use only Paizo products, what Paizo campaign setting products do I need to run the new RPG?
What Paizo campaign setting are you using at the moment for the new RPG? Is there indeed more than one, or are these, the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Pathfinder Adventure Path, Pathfinder Modules, Pathfinder Chronicles, Pathfinder Companion, Pathfinder Society Scenarios, all run in the same campaign setting?
Thanks for your help.

Actually, if you click on the tab that says Pathfinder above that is next to the word Store, and then check out the Chronicles tab, you will see the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting book and the Gazetteer. Both of these books give you information on the world of Golarion, which is the default setting for PFRPG :) The Gaz is a more shorthand version, but is good for getting you started.
While the rules in both of those books, and in any published prior to August for that matter, are in 3.5 rules, they are easy enough to adjust, and Paizo plans to put out some free conversion PDFs once they get a chance to catch their breath :)
Welcome aboard and have fun!

[Are] the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Pathfinder Adventure Path, Pathfinder Modules, Pathfinder Chronicles, Pathfinder Companion, Pathfinder Society Scenarios, all run in the same campaign setting?They're all set in the same campaign setting.
For the most part yes, but for the actual RPG corebook the campaign is used more as a generic flavor than fully emphasized in it. Basically it is presented in references such as the gods very much like 3.x D&D books referred to Greyhawk for their references. The corebook for the most part is campaign neutral to allow people to use it with any campaign setting they want without worrying about causing confusion or conflict.
