On the Scene: Project Ara

by Bryon Moyer

The race hasn’t yet begun. In fact, we’re not even on the starting block, but the rule book for this race – the race to the next major innovative mobile platform (smartphone) has been drafted and teams are starting to assemble. Google’s Project Ara, the world’s first completely modular smartphone is coming, and the modules will be designed by… YOU! On your mark. Get set. Design!
