The implications for standardized, interoperable plug-ins to cell phones and other portable devices are amazing - as long as the data moving from one device to the other is interoperable, you can assemble some amazing capture and use scenarios.....

This is in a similar vein to the glasses that can be adjusted by the user in the field rather than being done by perscription - you use a pump to change the pressure of some internal fluid which changes the shape of the lens to fit the user's eyesight.

Go interoperability.
