Rumours: Sony to release Camera Attachment for any smartphone?

Sony is rumoured to be developing a lens camera attachment that transmits images through NFC or WiFi to your smartphone or tablet. It can be mounted on any smartphone or tablet or it can be used separately. The wireless lens is rumoured to use the same 20.2MP Exmor R sensor and f/1.8 Zeiss lens used in the Sony RX100MII. A second version with a smaller sensor but larger zoom is also supposedly in the works. The mount system looks to be compatible with any smartphone or tablet as it looks like a magnetic lock of some sort.

While this may seem unlikely, bear in mind that the recently released Canon EOS 70D showed off similar wireless transmission and control from a tablet. Just to show that this isn't something that only Sony are working on, check out the video below from the Wvil Creator Group:
