Yes, I think it is too late.

The OM-1 was a brilliant design, brilliantly executed.

The OM-2 was pure science fiction when it was introduced. 
Aperture-priority AE, TTL flash, metering to EV -5, wow man!

The remainder of the OM series were useful refinements of the basic
OM-1/2 concept, IMHO.

I think I'm disappointed because I was expecting a product, not a
concept.  Oly will probably have to sign up everybody but Canon and
Nikon to have much of shot at success.

Meanwhile, Leica sends me a daily e-mail of a new product introduction. 
I have the printout of a PDF file for the new R9 on my desk right now. 
Unfortunately, I'm going to have to discover that I was switched at
birth in the hospital, and there's a large trust fund waiting for me...

My $.02.
