Discussion on the Oly board at dpreview has been rife with talk of the new 4/3 camera lately. Here are some tidbits:

One of the Oly board members...

"I was speaking with an Olympus rep during an Olympus digital demo and I expressed my interest in what was in the works in the high-end. He smiled and quietly whispered "April....look for a dSLR in April..." He also went on to say that it is Olympus' answer to the D60. We'll see.

Hmm....sounds like 6 megapixels to me...

Now, considering delay times, this may actually turn out to be April 2004, but we can only hope that it is on schedule."

This, apparently from an Olympus employee:
T"he first batch of the Four Thirds System digital SLRs will be released by Olympus, Fujifilm and Kodak respectively. The cameras adopt a standard lens mount and image sensor of the same size. Lenses from different manufacturers are interchangeable.This increases the choice of lenses available. To shorten development time, the optical design of the OM System lenses will be modified for use in the Four Thirds System. "

There is also rumor of  an E-30....

Stay tuned....

-Stephen.
