Something i will really look forward to when it is fully implemented, ZTE had one at CES and Moto Ara is not far off by all accounts.

wonder when we will be able to change OS too.

An interesting concept phone -- if the real phone looks as good it could certainly be something to look forward to.

Great idea. Hope it comes into fruition!

Networks won't be happy though! They like you to sign up for 24 month contracts for new phones. If your phone can be upgraded expect the networks to be upset!

Maybe the vast majority won't be on longer contracts so a module as sign-up freebie could prove useful.

Its logical that a small central unit becomes your personal PC. I can only guess that Google see that as part of their service selling future.
We can now maybe count the smartwatch as being one of the modules.
