Pocket sized digital camera

[MP]

Looking for a pocket sized digital camera for mostly landscape shots, but
would like it to be a pretty good all rounder if possible. I like the idea
of it having optical zoom and image stabilizer and would like it to be
compact as possible so I can stick it into my pocket while out walking and
forget about it. I have been out looking and reading up but the amount out
there is a bit bewildering I was hoping posting here might get me enough
replies to draw up a short list of possible's.

Thanks,

I recently bought a 10mp Ricoh R10 which has a wide angle lens with
7.1*zoom. Although the software is a bit daunting, I think this camera is
worth considering at £129 over the internet. The 28mm (equivalent) is good
for landscapes and the zoom is more than adequate for telephoto work. The
lens focusses down to 2cm, yes, 2cm, for close up work. The camera has face
recognition and vibration correction.
