I expect the biggest problem will be with processing the data from each
sensor, (really it's multiple AF sensors at the pixel level, Pentax has
11 AF sensors and struggles to process the data, think how much data
would be involved with 16 million sensors)*. Luckily processing power
becomes cheaper and cheaper, unluckily it will still probably use large
amounts of power, adding to any heat dissipation problems.
*Tongue firmly in cheek, but still not a trivial computing problem.

Looks good on paper, I wonder how will it turn out. There might be
some compromise in light gathering ability. The UI will have to be
changed, I don't want to press the down button 1209 times and the
right button 3671 times to set a focus point:) A combination of a
touch screen and fine tuning with buttons afterwards might work.
