I can't compare the 2 but rely on Rod Studdert's (Digital Image Studio) post.
My only comment is financial - if you positively plan to get the K10D, get that now rather than buying the K100D or Olympus now and than having to buy the K10D later - you can get the body and basic zoom lens for $900 with free shipping from Buydig.com, or body only for $838 plus shipping from Amazon.com, if you can make that stretch.
