I think I prefer the FL of 20mm over 25, so probably won't be looking at that lens. But the 12-60 sounds interesting, especially if it's a sharp as the 12-35 appears to be. Unfortunately, with that long a zoom range, and that price, it probably won't be. Would still probably look at it, though.
I'd rather see a new faster focusing and wider aperture 17mm. We have MORE than enough choices at or around 25mm (says the guy who prefers the 17mm FOV).
While the 12-60 is good news, the 25 f/1.8 is a better news, if they manage to sell it for 45mm price and keep the size small say between the 20 and 25 mm pancake it should became the best seller. The zoom will be great if the quality can compete with Panasonic X 12-35.
I'd buy the 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 the moment it appears, even if it costs $800. This is the lens I've been waiting for. OM-D, along with this lens, makes the regular 4/3 system completely obsolete.

Well don't get carried away -- we're still missing a fast tele-zoom (eg 50-200) or super-tele prime. But it gets awfully close.

especially since olympus keeps updating their kit zoom lenses, we need an update to the 17mm already!! 17mm f2 perhaps?

The 25/1.4 is too big, too heavy and too expensive for me and my E-PM1. 
and a $800 price tag seems about right.
