Wow!
If Epson manages to bring this to market at the right time and at an acceptable price, then Leica will have a hard time with the Digital-M. All that's missing now is some output from the device to judge the image quality. If they really do use the chip that's also in the Nikons, then the whole thing could be really interesting.
Hopefully sample images and pricing will come soon.
