Bug Labs modular device
Posted on Dec 3, 07 08:34 PM PDT
Bug Labs have come up with a modular device that requires you to piece it together just like Legos. Naturally, different pieces would result in different functions. For example, if you don't feel like carrying the camera module with you that day, the overall device will be much slimmer than normal, or you can always replace it with a GPS module whenever you want to head out of state. This Linux-based handset will feature four modules initially, comprising of GPS, a digital video camera, a color LCD touchscreen display, and an accelerometer/motion sensor. It is said to be released before the year is over, but since it is already December, that proposed time frame looks too optimistic for us...

Hi Tim,
The idea of possibly building a cellphone with a "GSM module" got many people excited, but you're right it was confusing. The post has been edited. Thanks!

Why are you calling this a cell phone? There's no cellular capability with this device. Sure, you might be able to use Skype with its built-in WiFi, but that's not a cell phone. Who knows, maybe they'll come out with a module that connects to a cell network, but I don't see anything on the site mentioning that.
