*sigh* The camera isn't reading the record at all. The record could well be anything. That white bit of paper in the middle of it with black bits is what it's reading. The camera makes note of it's position and adjusts mp3 playback accordingly.
The vinyl is entirely superfluous, it could well be a CD or a bit of paper.
So while you are correct that no new technology is being used to actually playback the record - you've missed the point that a new CONTROL system has been created. Admittedly this sort of thing has been done before, but as far as I'm aware it's application to audio is entirely new.
Alas, it's still not available in the UK - I suppose the upshot is that at least it will be tested fully!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
