The Project Ara Developers Conference was a two-day conference held in the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif. on April 15-16. Google's "Project Ara" is the company's exclusive modular phone idea that would allow users to exchange various pieces of hardware in order to meet their smart phone requirements, preferences and needs. Its mission statement, according to MSN, summarizes the concept of Project Ara: "To build a smart phone with components that can be swapped out, like Legos, allowing its owners to change, add, or improve its capabilities without having to buy a new phone."

The Project Ara MDK has already been released for download to developers at the first developer conference held recently. Alternatively, Project Ara, which is created to serve 6 billion people, may be released as early as 2015. Developers must be given the time to discover the "open source nature of the project" before it can be released. Both the hardware and software need to be developed as well. In order to understand the things that they can provide to consumers, component manufacturers must familiarize themselves with the project as well.With regards to the price, Google announced that it would cost as low as $50 in the early months of 2015.

Specifications of Project Ara

For one, the specifications of Project Ara will be: anything that the consumer wants since this is basically the idea of the modular smartphone. The other things that we know about this project are as follows: the frame named Endo is 10 mm thick including the modules. It has three different sizes: mini, medium and large with the large frames having more modules unlike the smaller ones. Consumers can add objects to the Endo frame, which is the base, such as adding a camera or a credit card reader. The pieces attach to the frame, which is made of polycarbonate and molded metal. The idea is that mobile users will be enthralled by Project Ara because who doesn't want to have a phone that can be designed any way you want it to be?
