Yes, those speakers looked cool for sure. Definitely dig the battery add-on. The projector piece I don't see myself using that much but it'll be nice. Question is what kind of cases (if any) would be compatible with the mods.
That IS the question. Since the Mods are all different shapes and sizes, I suspect there will be cases for the phone with NO Mod attached, and then a selection of them for phones with a Mod-free back, and perhaps a smaller selection for those with perhaps the Battery Mod, but to add a case to the speakers would defeat the purpose, as would the projector, unless holes were cut to allow sound/video out. Still, I think the JBL Speaker Mod is enough of a case to protect the back of the phone, and a good screen protector in tempered glass for the front and you're on your way. Same is true for the Battery Mod and Projector Mod.
Astute to say the least. Was there any word about a camera mod add-on that could enhance the camera to have it act like a D-SLR? Perhaps later on that'll be one mod. This concept can allow for so many different accessories and functions. I'd almost prefer this route than purely 100% modular Project Ara type phones only due to cost, complexity, and reliability concerns.
And an astute observation by you. I have every reason to believe there will be at least two varieties of camera Mods. One would be a Mod case that has a secure fixing point for high quality adapter lenses, such as the iPro lens system for the iPhone.
Without a doubt I am all over this thing versus Project Ara or even the Note 6/7 (w/e Samsung ends up calling it). Question is would you be able to use the mods with a VR headset.
Interesting development, check this out about camera mods...and waterproofing?!?!? If so, this phone will usher in a new standard for smartphone accessories.And an astute observation by you. I have every reason to believe there will be at least two varieties of camera Mods. One would be a Mod case that has a secure fixing point for high quality adapter lenses, such as the iPro lens system for the iPhone.
The other would be a replacement wide angle/optical zoom lens and sensor that would essentially be similar to the Sony DSC-QX100, but incorporated into a Mod back with integrated shutter and case.
I would also expect some variations on each theme, including a thinner camera back with button and perhaps a low profile optical zoom lens system that either meets up with the existing camera or like the Sony has its own sensor.
