Apple has purchased Leica Camera AG and announced the LeicaPhone.

"Using the classic Leica M-mount means the leicaPhone will accept all Leitz 
lenses made since 1954.  A range of accessories will be available, including 
21mm and 28mm viewfinders.  In a nod to the camera company?s heritage, the 
famous Leica red dot is replaced by a red Apple symbol on the front of the 
phone."
