Both Fujifilm X-Pro1 and Olympus OM-D E-5M are available for some time now, and a number of reviews were published. Thom Hogan recently have published very useful X-Pro1 review by on his Sans Mirror site. He has a quite lengthy section on new filter mask/array used by Fuji and good example of color smearing attributed to complex demosaic process on Fuji X-Pro1. Quite a few reviews are available for the Olympus OM-D E-M5 including one from the dpreview where the camera got a GOLD AWARD (aka highly recommended). I also like ongoing commentary on the Olympus E-5M and m4/3 system in general by Melbourne photographer Gary Ayton. Note that this link is to his blog, and in the future the top/first posts will be different.
It seems that Fuji X-Pro1 has the best image quality with some minor drawbacks (the autofocus is not as fast as in some other mirrorless cameras, occasional color smearing). It is very expensive (unless you compare it to Leica).
The Olympus OM-D E-M5 is a big improvement over previous Olympus models, and it does look like a very good addition to m4/3 system. It is not cheap camera but the price is in the range of "upper" models from several other companies (Panasonic GH2, Sony NEX-7, Samsung NX20(?)). Well, Samsung NX20 is not yet listed in any mainstream camera shops in Australia but the recommended street price is available for a couple days, and it is just a little bit above 1000AUD.
In Australia the buying into OM-D E-M5 will give you the latest 4/3 adapter if you pay before the end of June but better check the official Olympus Australia site for promotions.
