New camera from Philips works like human eye

A new camera lens from Philips designed for small, cheap imaging devices uses fluids to shape the lens for focusing. Just like your eye. Link (thanks, Bev!). Update:

Grant says, "Engadget had a story earlier today about another company, Varioptic, which has already created a fluid, no moving parts lens. Engadget says, 'the two companies [Philips and Varioptic] are headed towards a legal showdown.'"
