I find myself increasingly reading these kind of opinions
>Why would we want X? It's completely useless considering Y.
What's wrong with this? When did the idea of making a cool concept like modular phones accessible to the average consumer become a something negative?
I remember loving to build computers, I don't anymore because I've dropped desktop altogether in favor of portable solutions and a Pi. That however does not mean I wouldn't want to see and support a technology that ultimately would boost portable computing innovation.
I believe many of you simply do not see the potential in this! The whole idea might flop, but if it doesn't, it opens up a lot of possibilities. An Apple iPhone lets you play with software within a very strict sandbox, and Android only offers a slightly larger sandbox. The devices have in common that they are so versatile in their usefulness, and this brought them success; they greatly outperform the older generations. This idea is one idea that might prove another leap in versatility and usefulness, and if it does, it'll disrupt.
