First the picture shows a finished conventional camera module, packaged and including the focus, zoom drives, cable and connector. The concept camera apparently doesn't need any PCB or link to the camera.

The limit on cellphone cameras isn't optical it's computational - the CPU and battery power isn't there to stream more than VGA resolution movies at 60fps, so how is it going to do the image combination for this?

The computational limits are very rapidly disappearing. Check Anandtech's story on the new ARM A15 processors. We are seeing generational leaps in processing power very frequently.
