This liquid lens system achieves optical zooming through altering its focal length by changing its shape which mimics the action of the human eye."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/ekkie_fluidlens1.jpg" /><br /><br />While this news may seem more appropriate for our sister site, <a href="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/">Digital Media Thoughts</a>, the impact could be very real for tomorrow's PDAs and cellphones. This technology could lead to better quality pics while requiring even less bulk.
