Plans Google's Project Ara swapped
Back in January of this year, a team of developers of modular smartphone Project Ara said that the start of sales of the phone is not in the offing. It was originally planned to launch a pilot project for the sale of modular telephone in Puerto Rico. Google Ara is going to sell in mobile trailers that have been converted into shops.
But now the plans have changed - in the official Twitter of the project appeared several messages whose meaning is clear: the start of sales in Puerto Rico in the near future will not be. In general, developers can understand, because Puerto Rico is now financial problems - this is a small country, in fact, bankrupt. Its inhabitants is clearly not up to the phone. But where, in this case, plan to sell a smartphone?

As you can see, some details Project Ara will be announced next week. Perhaps the start of sales will take just maybe, all will be in time, but in another country. I would like to believe that the project will not be closed - because the idea is very interesting. As for closing - this is unlikely to happen because another WMC 2015 was presented to a working prototype Google Ara , running, running the camera and plug-in modules .
Interestingly, many companies took up the production of modules for Project Ara before the release it to the market. So, Toshiba has prepared camera module .
A few companies engaged in the production of modules of the display and audio module.
Earlier the same was introduced by Google a roadmap of the project:
At this stage, the project team has created 11 core modules for the smartphone. By the end of 2015, the number of components will increase to 30. The main unit - Nvidia Tegra K1 chip Marvell PXA1928, plus a display with a resolution of 1280 * 720 pixels (the dimensions of the display are called). Developers also offer camera module with 5 megapixel matrix, the battery module, and various communication modules (including 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth) and the module with the port micro-USB. It will be available and the module detector was atmospheric pollution (although the functionality of the module is also not disclosed). It can be assumed that this module will determine the concentration of carbon monoxide (carbon dioxide), the concentration of carbon dioxide and other compounds.
Do you believe in the project Project Ara?
Yes, the phone will soon be on the market I do not know, somehow suspiciously quiet recently, plus Google's plans have changed No, and I never believed What is Project Ara? Voted 955 people. Abstain 121 people. Only registered users can participate in the survey. Sign , please.
