I imagine such a contraption, if possible, would sort of negate whatever size/handling advantage the E-P1 might have over the Panasonic G1 or the upcoming E-P2 with built in evf. Seems like I have read that Olympus was considering an accessory evf for the E-P1.
It would be useful as an accessory to use with certain lenses that require more than the rear LCD can offer. I think it would be an overkill, and am certain if the m4/3 proves to be the success it now seems it will, a variety of models will come out offering everything but the kitchen sink.

...People keep mentioning the LV-zoom being very precise. Do people really want to take photos that way?
I agree. I am not interested in using LV as a standard shooting method, and would much rather use an OVF-hence the 17mm kit option. I like the idea of my eye directly attached to the camera
Having said that, and having gone though too many DSLRs, I am willing to give up some options right now for a really small AND IQ competent camera. Maybe the next m4/3 models will be able to incorporate a good EVF in the size of the E-P1 rather than the G1.
