Motorola wants to alter the smartphones landscape forever and they plan on doing it by creating modular phones based on an open-platform, very much in the same way that desktop PCs are modular today. This is an extremely ambitious project, but if Motorola can make it happen, it would effectively change the game, and could build a vast and dynamic eco-system of third party innovative hardware vendors. As we have said during our initial coverage, ARA builds on the same idea as Phoneblocks, a modular-phone idea that was once popular, until it eventually fizzled out due to the impossibility to make it come true. It did prove one thing however: people genuinely love the modular phone idea and therefore it is worth looking into it. I am really glad that Motorola is willing to take that chance, and I respect that very much.
