No, if you're looking to buy a camera now, this is not it. This still wont be it next year assuming they launch on time. This is a 1st generation of a new product type. It wont be perfect from the start. But go a few more generations down the line, I think this is the next step for carry always (smartphone) photography.
The details are vague on this one, but it is supposed to have equivalent to 35-150mm optical zoom, and up to f/1.2, presumably at the wider end of that focal length. I'm sure future optimisation and miniaturisation will allow longer zoom ranges, and effective apertures limited by the size of the host device.
It wont cover every possible photography need, but I see it as expanding the reach of the smartphone class device. Outside of that mainstream core will remain what's left of the traditional photography market.
