Motorola has announced a free, open hardware platform for smartphones called "Project Ara." The goal is to create a modular smartphone that would allow users to swap hardware components at will. Motorola says it wants to "do for hardware what the Android platform has done for software: create a vibrant third-party developer ecosystem, lower the barriers to entry, increase the pace of innovation, and substantially compress development timelines."
