Highly tempted to get a mf/3

As someone put it (rather well) of the current crop of m4/3 cameras,
‘the Panasonic GF 1, Olympus E-P1, Leica X-1, Canon G10 and G11 and the like are all failed rangefinder cameras. Why on earth doesn’t any of the big companies produce a decent digital rangefinder camera? There’s no need to reinvent the wheel: Leica’s M3 came out in 1954, followed by dozens of cheaper rangefinder cameras by Voigtländer, Canon, Agfa, Contax etc. that had all better integrated viewfinders than anything we’re getting today. Strange new world…’ – Peter Halter

The GF1 though looks really, really good with its Panasonic 20mm f1.7 pancake lens… *lens drool….*
But yes, what’s with the lack of a viewfinder?
