cant see this doing that well - high-end point & shoot's have been getting very fancy of late (with prices heading towards the 1000$ mark).
They have zoom (usually not that much, but still a big factor) - but then I guess this has a phone....

this version has come to the US - first look via imaging-resource.com
Possibly of more long term interest (?) - a multi-lens camera is in development for smartphones:
Startup Light “reimagines photography” - Will phones finally compete with cameras for image quality?
(imaging-resource.com again)
and an interview which gets fairly technical at times (I didnt read it all)

And people wonder why I think that the education system as it is should be entirely scrapped. Viscously. Without mercy. Without remorse. With fury and fire.
But, further comment is a Basement discussion.
However, I'll be damned if I don't mention 2 names:
* Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt
* John Taylor Gatto
Those 2 people are GIANTS in a world of Lilliputians.
Richard Grove has interviewed both of them.

At first glance there, I just about had a heart attack. I really don't want to read about cameras from Glenn Grenwald on First Look. :)

That looks very cool. Multiple lenses just makes sense in so many ways.
I'd thought about that many years ago. I used to work at a 3D audio company, and the principle is the same -- multiple sensors for the same source. In 3D audio it's an HRTF - Head Response Transfer Function.
It seems rather odd that it's taken so long for that to catch up in the photography space.
My guess is that we'll see something similar in the video space. It's not really that hard to do once you combine the right sensors. All you need to do is map the data. Granted, that's a big task computationally, but the logic isn't all that hard. It was all done many years ago in audio.
Once it's done in video, we'll have some pretty funky hologram stuff. :D

^ The software is already so sophisticated, and getting much more so with this.
If/when that works well, it could be a brilliant advance.
