It could be awesome if they licensed the technology to someone else, but because of the way the tech works, you're going to inherently have lower resolution and (more importantly to photojournalists) bad low light performance. It reminds me of the tradeoffs that the Foveon sensor made. Insanely good high ISO performance (like you get with the D3S now even up to 128,000 ISO, and that could easily hit 512,000 in a couple of years) can actually obviate the need for this kind of focus adjustment because you can shoot at f/8 and get a high depth of field even in low light scenarios.
