is generally constructed for what I call the all-automatic photographer who may as well buy a disposable camera.

I have to admit that's not the common view I've heard so far of the EP-1, and the owners I have met have usually been more fans of rangefinders (primarily Leicas) than disposables. Though I guess we can almost begin to expect some digi's not to have that same age old build quality of some of those OM cameras.
There might only be two 'official' lenses available, but others can be used with a suitable adapter. The spec levels of the EP-1 are nearer to the semi-pro E30 than any point n shoot auto digi compact I've come across.
I've never personally been a big fan of the small Olympus cameras, but they do justify investigation if a potential owner is looking for something a bit different.
Would be interesting to find out how the original poster (racki09) feels of the alternatives, and whether the OM route has been chosen
