Olympus deserve a lot of praise for moving to 4/3. Oversized clunky DSLR's with big APS sensors that require massive boat-anchor lenses are in desperate need of downsizing. We mere mortals would like to have FULLY-FEATURED portable cameras, instead of being marginalized to cheap point-and-shoot consumer junk. Whether Olympus is the company with the ability and will to make 4/3 shine is uncertain. Unfortunately the megapixel hype race works against them, unless they're smart enough to wage a direct and successful campaign bucking the trend by emphasising the obvious advantages of compact, affordable, portable cameras. It doesn't look like they're going to do this, though. The 4/3 bodies aren't as small as hoped for yet, either. (I'm not sure about the lenses) :/
