In addition most of these P&S digi people will also primarily look at there 
pictures on their PC monitor, so how would they be able to see the difference?
 
On the other hand the renewed focus on picture taking from P&S digi and mobile 
phones will also entice new people to become interesred in photography, and 
once they realize how limited those technologies are from a quality of picture- 
and composing freedom point of view, they might migrate to a Digital SLR, and 
eventually end up using the R9 (ok, just dreaming there...)

        A week ago at a family gathering my brother was using a P&S digital 
while I used the R4 with 90 'cron and ISO  400 C-41 film.  The difference in 
picture quality was startling.  I suspect the P&S market accepts this poor 
level of quality because of limited exposure to better-quality snapshots, just 
as the vast majority of the SLR market (digi or film) is fearful of manual 
focus due to lack of exposure to a good manual-focus camera.
