Hello fellow techies!
Project Ara, the most revolutionary handset to be released by Google shows some promising features.
For those of you who aren't aware, Project Ara is Google's take at a fully customisable device. Think of a PC in which you can swap memory, Processor etc. as soon as they get outdated.
The Project Ara release date has been confirmed to an early 2015 release date, confirmed by Phonebloks, which revealed the project is on track in terms of timeline. A keynote (linked below) too has been released showing some of the features of the device. The first fully-functional Project Ara prototype will be showcased in December at the 2nd Project Ara Developer Conference alongside the new Project Ara MDK. Let's hope this one manages to boot and work :-P
When Project Ara is released in early 2015, it will run a modified version of Android L that has been developed in collaboration with the non-profit Linaro. The benefits of this modified version of Android L is the Project Ara device will be hotswappable. That means that every module of the Project Ara phone, aside from the CPU and display, can be switched out and changed without turning the phone off.The ability to hot swap the Project Ara device is so sophisticated that it's possible to change the modules even if you are in the middle of a phone call or texting.
The Project Ara modules will be sold on a new online store, specifically for Project Ara and this store will resemble the Google Play Store. For those of us early adopters who are eager to get our hands on a Project Ara device and to try building our own modular smartphone, all of this is good news. What are your views? And would you buy such a device? Drop us a comment below :-)
