It'll be interesting to see how far we get with a camera attached to a communications device but I'm not convinced it's going to be as big as they think it is.

Yeah. Seems a bit gimicky. People who carw about photography aren't going to want to settle for a worse smaller camera

Sorry but that looks incredibly impractical

I mean, the page literally says 'over the past five years, the cameras in cell phones have improved'. The point wasn't to put them together, but just about improving the photographic capabilities of a phone-sized camera, and overcoming the size limitations. Which presumably this project did in part help happen.
