it's an interesting idea, and if it leads to a high quality rangefinder camera (perhaps something like the Contax G cameras) I'd be interested. But I'm not at all sure that their stated market really wants electronic viewfinders. Speaking for myself, my eyesight has deteriorated to the point where I need reading glasses. I cannot focus on the screen at the back of a camera unless I wear my reading glasses, but I'm not prepared to wear them when I'm out and about shooting - it is just not practical. I suspect an electronic viewfinder would be unusable for me and for much of their target market.
It is also rather silly of them to have a viewfinder with a different format to the sensor!
