Revolutionary ultrathin, flat lens: Smartphones as thin as a credit card?

Scientists are reporting development of a revolutionary new lens -- flat, distortion-free, so small that more than 1,500 would fit across the width of a human hair -- capable in the future of replacing lenses in applications ranging from cell phones to cameras to fiber-optic communication systems. The advance, which could lead to smart phones as thin as a credit card, appears in ACS' journal Nano Letters.

They had better be something like solar powered or have a lot better battery life.

I'd like to see the camera lens for that, too. You need certain specs to overcome distortion, engineering something like that for an ultrathin CC phone would be interesting.
