Well, I've got a GR on its way (it's all Ari's fault). I also located my old Gorillapod, prompted by Ari's post, only to find out it's broken and unusable - don't know why I'd put it away instead of throwing it away.
Jeff - have you looked at the Mirrorless Mover series from ThinkTank?
As for that new Panasonic camera phone, I actually like the idea. I think they could've kept the right side of the body at same thickness as the lens ring (while still keeping the left side thinner) to accommodate a larger battery. If it (or its successors) ever makes it over to US, I'd at least consider it, assuming the price isn't ridiculous, and can perform what I need from a phone adequately (e-mail/web, calendar/contacts, directions).
