DSLR are much too large as they're basically carry-overs from film cameras. The G11 is nice, but lacks the important ability to change lenses. This is the biggest handicap for this type of camera.
Micro four thirds cameras (eg: Olympus EP-2) have the right idea. The image sensor is almost the size of the Canon DSLR, but the camera is 1/3 the size, with full control features and interchangeable lenses.
I've been a Canon fan for 40 years going back to the FT. However, they need to get with the times. Nikon should too.
The Rip is the latest addition to the Boogie eWriter line, devices that let you scribble notes and drawings and can be wiped away with the press of a button.

@harywood Sorry I am not giving up my DSLR for a 4/3. And their crop is 2x not same as Canon's 1.6x.
Besides, where is the mirror box in a 4/3? They may be smaller, but mirror-less is a deal breaker anyways.
