Group Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) deported from Google working on Ara Project for over a year now, and hopes to increase the project on the market in early 2015. But until now, the Company has presented as more or less buggy prototypes.
Today, the search giant exhibits functional prototypes of Ara Project!
To date, the Ara Project is still under development , and Google hopes that some of his progress will come from third-party developers who will create modules that can be used with the device. The company expects to sell the "heart", she called endoskeleton.
Google plans to offer three endoskeletons in three different sizes : and there is no reason not to buy more than one. So if you're not a fan of phablettes, you can buy a smaller frame, but you can also buy a small frame and large. Simply attach the key modules of the large skeleton when you want a big screen, and remove and slip on a smaller drag when you want a smartphone in your pocket small frame.
In addition, you will not be stuck with the components you choose: not only do you tighten able to upgrade the components later, but you'll even ability to exchange most modules without restarting your smartphone.
No need for a camera, but a substantial battery? Simply remove the image module and put an extra battery.

Although you will need to open an application to get an overview of the attached modules and choose the one you want to turn off before the exchange, it's pretty crazy to think that you may possibly be able to connect to your device almost any component, and as easily as you can connect a USB printer, scanner, or hard drive in a laptop.
The next conference dedicated developers will be held in Mountain View, California, January 15, 2015, and will be followed by an event in Singapore on 21 January.
