Focus Numérique has an interview with Uematsu Michiharu, Manager for the Lumix Digital Interchangeable Lens cameras at Panasonic Japon:

12MP is more than enough for consumer cameras and calls for a stop to the megapixels race.
A micro 4/3 videocam? Cameras and Videos are 2 different departments at Panasonic so he has no idea.
A 14mm [28mm equiv.] f/2.8 pancake lens is in the works and might be presented at Photokina.
Hates the mechanical shutter and shutter noise. The way information is read from the sensor would need to change to switch to an electronic, silent, shutter.
The G2 and G10 are a logical evolution to the G1 with improved image quality thanks to the new Venus Engine HD II image processing engine.
Lenses now only need to give a sharp image; distortion, vignetting and chromatic aberration can all be corrected in software.
