The Verge is reporting on Google's Project Ara and it is definitely looking good. Essentially it lets developers produce modules for a mod-able modular phone. You can make swappable parts such as camera modules and Google has released guidelines on developing them.
This is quite exciting from Google, the phone will run Android(what else!), and it would be interesting to see what modules emerge from it. From the report on The Verge, the Ara phones start off as a skeleton initially and you build it up using modules. This could be of immense benefit for uses other than just an average everyday smartphone function. Portable testers for medical situations could come as mod-able parts for the phone. This is another step towards unified devices idea and stuff of sci-fi's we all dream about.
