I wonder if this would be worth investing in. Looks really friggin' cool.

ridiculous, although imagine if your canon body failed in the field and all you needed was this little adapter

Yeah, ridiculous in a sense that you already have to carry around the bulky and heavy lenses already, why not just have the body too... But for the ability to instantly take a nice shot and post it on Facebook or Twitter instead of having to upload it onto your computer first, it's kinda cool. And the $250 price tag makes me think it's a tad more mature than just another novelty toy for your iPhone.

That thing sucks. The photos come out upside-down.

I hate that when that happens!
I can't see that much use for this gadget for photos, but for the video shooters, well, they might actually find it useful to get a shallow dof with an iPhone video.
wow these ppl are trying to squeeze out the last remaining money one can get out of these DOF devices... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth-of-field_adapter
Same concept as the 35mm adapters that was popular 5 years ago for video cameras, before video capable DSLRs came to market.. I used to own one of these, albeit a bit more advanced with a vibrating ground glass to remove the grains of the glass. Essentially, this solution is the same as pointing the iphone to your DSLR's optical viewfinder and taking the image from that.
I see these ppl didn't even bother to invest in creating a photo app for the iphone that flips the image for you. This is indeed the epitome of a crude solution. The only thing they had to engineer was the adapter for the iphone. The ground glass tube that comes with it has already been developed by various people online and is a very simple DIY project. I guess the $250 asking price takes into account the volume (or lack of volume) they expect the product will sell.

That Letus adapter is pretty cool actually. Big, bulky and heavy, not to mention a bit cumbersome...but it does what it does pretty well. I filmed a commercial for Harmon's last year using one and a tilt/shift Canon lens on it.
You can see the commercial here.
But, I agree with everything you said about the crude solution for the iPhone. The gallery that Scott shared of the soldier's photography from Afghanistan prove that with an iPhone you do not need any fancy gadgets, you just need access and a willingness to tell a story.

Nice control of dof in your video. I like the monochrome too.
Did you use a wheelchair for a dolly, too?
