Looks like those new Sony add on cameras for cell phones are available for preorder over at B&H Photo.
$499 for the QX100 and $249 for the QX10 in either black or white models.
Think I will just stick my my EOS M.

CyberDyneSystems Admin (type T-2000) More info | Sep 04, 2013 16:23 | #5 Some obvious downsides: For the QX100, you lose a lot of features and functionality of the RX100 II including raw image capture, a flash and a hot shoe, several shooting options including full manual control, much better video quality, and physical controls. You still have to carry around a second device (that's not as easily pocketable as the RX100 II), and now you have two battery lives to worry about: the camera's and your smartphone's. And although you can turn it on and shoot without pairing, you have to pair it to actually see what you're shooting or change any settings. Not to mention a lengthy startup time of 6.9 seconds. The QX10 makes a bit more sense because it's smaller, less expensive, and designed more for casual photographers who want some zoom range to supplement their smartphone photography. But, again, it's still a second device and that's not what people want. They want these features -- zoom lenses, better photo quality, etc. -- in their smartphones. GEAR LIST

On the other hand, could we use them "off Phone" for remote set ups? that might be cool. You can use it remotely using your smartphone apparently. Arcsylver Imaging and Audio
