Actually I'm glad that Leica went ahead and designed the R-Module first.
That way they have a chance to learn from their mistakes and gain some
experience, before they tackle the digital M. Can you imagine the reaction
if they screwup the digital M? People with pitchforks and torches will be 
breaking down the gate, like the villagers in the old Frankenstein movie.

Let them cut their teeth on the R and get it right with the M.
