As you have noted, I have embraced the micro 4/3 system as a superb travel camera system. I have enjoyed and enjoy my E PL2 immensely. Now Olynpus has added more lenses and the PL3.
With thre 3 PEN bodies, Olympus has announced the M. Zuiko Digital ED 12mm F2.0 and M. Zuiko Digital ED 45mm F1.8 prime lenses for Micro Four Thirds. The 12mm F2.0 is a metal-bodied 24mm equivalent featuring a unique snap-focus manual focus mode. A snap-back focus ring reveals a traditional depth-of-field scale for 'zone' focusing and offers improved focus 'feel.' Later in the year it will be accompanied by the 45mm F1.8 portrait lens, making Olympus one of the only manufacturers to offer a fast prime at a roughly 100mm equivalent focal length, ideally suited to portraiture. There is also a relatively compact flash, the FL-300R, helping the PEN range look more like a complete system. They look real good.
