With regards to the aforementioned take-over rumours, what about Spain's Vueling? The two carriers have comparable fleet types, a similar focus on main airports and a take-over would give EZY a larger share of the Spanish market, including a large base at Barcelona.
Wizzair seems to have more of an 'ultra low cost' business model, similar to that of Ryanair. I feel this is something EZY are trying to differentiate themselves from.

Interesting to note that EZY have changed direction slightly as their up until now policy of pretty much keeping out of flybe's way just changed. They are going onto LGW-IOM and now BHX-BFS as well.

So we'll be seeing the following competition between them:
LGW - IOM
LGW - ABZ
LGW - INV
LGW - NTE
LGW - BFS (indirect)
BHX - BFS (indirect)
GLA - BFS (indirect)
EDI - BFS (indirect)
NCL - BFS (indirect)
CDG - BFS (indirect)
MAN - BFS (indirect)
SEN - BFS (indirect)
SEN - JER (indirect)
GLA - JER
BRS - BFS (indirect)
BOH - GVA (indirect)
INV - LTN (indirect)
GLA - CDG
I will have missed some inevitably. When I say indirect I mean a different airport which shares a catchment. Obviously I haven't included Liverpool/Manchester or Bristol/Cardiff because the catchment is rather too different although obviously there is some competition on those sectors too. I fear these two are going to start taking chunks out of eachother (perhaps more one way than another). Flybe has the advantage of less seats to fill and lower costs on domestics thanks to the benefits of turboprop over jet, however... market presence etc. doesn't go in their favour. We shall see.

Revised Livery
Just seen pictures of the first easyJet A319 to feature the revised livery is this part of easyJet's new strategy to position itself as a hybrid carrier? Have to say the revised livery looks somewhat incomplete.

Indeed. No suggestion of a livery tweak. There will be new cabins (seats) rolled out at some point. Not got any specific info regarding this but perhaps one of the CGI'd cabin pics on the easyjet recruitment site might be a clue
It already has the Berlin special logo for the new airport opening on 2nd June so it won't be an Olympic logo......unless they apply it shortly after the new airport is opened which i can't see.
Apparently aircraft EZ will possess the Olympic logo within the next few weeks
Locog and Olympic Association guard their brand very tightly, main sponsors paid up years ago and no way will they allow a brand in at last minute.

Why would easyJet have olympic rings or a logo on a plane?? British Airways is the official Carrier for the olympics... easyJet has nothing to do with it !!!!
