If I were a case person with my phones, having a case that would allow my to quickly add an Olympus Air-type camera via a bayonet-style connector would be an appealing idea.
Air + phone creates a nice combo, a kind of high quality P&S with the versatility of a real cam+connectivity of a phone. All of this in a not so big package.
Sure Olympus isn’t the first one to try this, but this time it’s with a great system (m43 brings a lot of lenses) and an open library to allow progammers to ship great utilities.
