Bug Labs modular


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.

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.
