I think the main thing this structure brings is the unbundling of camera module from the handset, so that larger sensor/lens modules can be offered. As it is, manufacturers are afraid that protrusions will hurt sales and are therefore hesitant to go with large sensors. edit: On second thought, this may end up just being the foundation of Android-based camera backs. Should be a bit of help for camera makers, so that they can focus on the camera module.

> Should be a bit of help for camera makers, so that they can focus on the camera module. Why would camera makers want to give up on the pattern of tying a new firmware feature to a minor case facelift to celebrate it as a new camera generation? Cameras are a market where a few compulsive update-buyers seem to greatly outweigh the masses of thrice-in-a-lifetime buyers in terms of number of devices sold.
