And of course, the mothership has a page up: http://www.olympusamerica.com/e3/
Here's the highlights:
10MP Live MOS sensor
2.5" articulated LCD, 'Live View'
in-body IS
11 cross-type AF points
100% viewfinder with a 1.15x magnification
shutter speeds from 60s - 1/8000s
rain and dust proof
Rated shutter life 150,000 actuations
Price estimated at $1700US
...in short, it looks like a camera roughly between the Canon 40D and Nikon D300, as interpreted by Olympus.
It also happens to be ridiculously good-looking.
