I think that if this project succeeds, it will be as a standard phone you plug into a lot of different devices. Ara could be generic compute/storage/networking, and cheap enough for you to click one into your sprinkler system, your refrigerator, your car, and perhaps commercial equipment like your alarm system, security camera system, etc... All talking to each other and sharing a common uplink.
- genericone 10y agoNow THIS here is the interesting idea, the ARA becomes the local compute component in a larger system, rather than having smaller components attaching to the ARA!
- qq66 10y agoYes, I'm thinking in particular of my wife's digital piano, which has some horrific obsolete Yamaha software to transfer files, and my 2006 Acura, which has a completely crummy in-dash navigation system. Both would have been much better served by a plug-in compute module that had its own networking and could be upgraded independently.
