The interesting thing here will be whether they stick to their standard sensor size (1.7) or go for m4/3s. They are part of the 4/3s 'whatever', so they could conceivably use the specs, with a very slightly reduced Foveon sensor.
If they locked into the m4/3s format, that would really begin to consolidate the format, but would still allow them to create lenses for whatever Sony/Samsung etc may bring out. But there's no sign of what the two gorillas plan to do, so waiting around may make for tense circumstances.
Interesting times.
