Broadcom Dreams about 12MP and HD Video in Cell Phone

Yahoo: Broadcom announces BCM2727 high definition mobile multimedia processor supporting 12MP sensor and 720p HD Video encoding and decoding with H.264 main profile.
Its integrated ISP processes all the usual camera pipeline functions at speed of up to 144 million pixels per second, that is up to 12fps at 12MP resolution.

The only thing preventing this processor from winning the mainstream is availability of 12MP mobile sensor. The current generation of pixels allows to do this in 1/2" format. Sould we expect such a sensor soon?
