Mitsubishi's SuperCCD camera module

Mitsubishi Electric Corp has announced the CMO51 camera module for mobile phones. This module appears to feature a 2 megapixel Fujifilm SuperCCD sensor. Mitsubishi are calling this module '4 megapixel' although of course we know it's 2 million effective. However because of the honeycomb layout of SuperCCD the output image size will be twice that of the effective resolution. UPDATE: Not SuperCCD SR, but normal SuperCCD.
