Quite seriously WTF were they thinking?

Beats the hell out of me! Have they never heard of a "Focus Group"?
A single focal length lens? Where's the need?

Looks like it's made to compete with the Sigma DP-1 and/or DP-2,
neither of which seemed to fill a niche that was crying out to be
filled.

It seems to have escaped you that the Olympus PEN is an interchangeable-lens
camera based on the Micro 4/3 system, which means that it can use any 4/3
system lens, any lens that is adaptable to the 4/3 system (which among
others includes just about the whole Nikon range), and in addition can use
lenses such as those for the Leica M system that require a flange distance
too short for any SLR.
