Not far away now

It does look very interesting, but the cost of producing the non-mass market modules means there going to be far too overpriced for most.

 

Nice idea, but strictly for techies I think. Plus I've yet to read anything about if it has the capability to upgrade the cpu and ram which means that it'll still be out of date after a couple of years...

As I understand, it's a shell and you add in every module, from motherboard to cpu, memory, camera etc.

So you could spend more on cpu and less on camera if your a keen gamer, or have a better camera, bigger storage, but lesser cpu if pictures are your thing.
