Interesting gadget but the iPhone becomes a bit bulky.

This might be a good idea for the mirrorless cameras or video cameras?

I believe that they used similar things for early cinema and movie making (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&rlz=1C1CHIK_en-GBGB399GB399&nord=1&q=three+lens+cine+camera&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=6083l9151l1l9272l13l10l0l0l0l1l1485l4022l2-3.2.1.1.0.1l8l0&ion=1&biw=1366&bih=653&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi#)...
If you could create a Micro 4/3rds camera with a 24/35/50 or 35/50/85 equivalent, it would be quite a good idea...
alternatively they could use something like the Leica Tri-Elmar (http://en.leica-camera.com/photography/m_system/lenses/2193.html)

I would buy one if the quality was ok...

Its linda sorta like a Leica R 19mm meets a to-giant-to-fit-in-pocket case.

I guess an interesting idea, but for that money, might as well get a s95 or s100 and throw in your pocket.
