Panasonic and Olympus join forces on Four Thirds

Although Panasonic has been previously named as one of the 'Four Thirds System' development partners (along with Olympus, Kodak, Sanyo, Sigma and Fujifilm) today they issued a new press release stating that they have signed a Joint Development Agreement with Olympus to develop 'Interchangeable Lens Type Digital SLR Cameras'. The announcement goes on to detail what the agreement covers (everything from shared technology to lenses and D-SLR's). Maybe we'll see some Panasonic 4/3 mount Optical Stabilized lenses?
