Bob, I think it was 41 MP phone camera. Darren, you obviously haven't already forgotten the Samsung Android NX camera, which in principle can easily be turned (if it's not already) into a very-smart-phone with interchangeable lenses and quite proper camera insomuch as comparing it to the cell phone or point and shot ones :-). In fact, Pentax, may well have an opportunity to lead the way, because Pentax Q has the smallest mount of them all, and hence more readily yields itself to such a conversion. Alternatively, they can make a phone where part of the lens will be folded (like in mirror lenses) and the rest will be interchangeable giving you various angles of view via converters.
