I remember when Ara was first announced that it was in a special Google program where it basically has to have results in a year or they shut it down. I'd love to know how it's tracking in that and if it looks like it will live on or be put on hold. I'm pretty sure it's coming up on a year old very soon. IMHO I think it's neat technology but I would not personally want all the trade-offs of more bulk and weight just to have the ability to swap out parts.

Project Ara received an extension: "A notable exception to the rule is Google's Project Ara, the modular Android smartphone with interchangeable components, which was granted an extension on its two-year deadline because it's promising enough that they're actually testing it in Puerto Rico." http://www.businessinsider.com/google-atap-killed-project-to-improve-mobile-battery-life-2015-3 http://www.businessinsider.com/google-atap-killed-project-to...
