Toys
I'm a photographer, so reading about Philips' development of a liquid lens is exciting news.
Even though the actual parts, once properly developed, will be very cheap to produce, I'm sure it'll be a long time before I can afford a new liquid lens camera. I'm not really sure why I'd want one, other than the ain't-it-cool factor, but hey.
The main benefit here is likely to be compactness: a telephoto lens without having to lug that huge, conspicuous 500mm around!
