If anyone hasn't seen this video it's kind of scary- now anyone can take a good photo even without focusing it correctly!

Except, from what I've seen, the photos aren't actually good.

A 'good' photo has little to do with the camera/lens and a whole bunch to do with who is pressing the shutter.

If the only problem with my pictures was focus, it would be a great camera.

Hasn't Lytro been around for quite a while now, or is this a new version?

It's a new version, but it still has only 4MP

..and I would bet my granny that this 4MP is already a result of heavy interpolation.
