The first Project Ara smartphone is not expected to launch until January 2015 but developers are already busy dreaming up various modules for the modular handset. Along with the more mundane modules such as better processors and cameras, larger batteries and greater storage, other modules hold the promise of far more specialized functions.

Concept Sunday: What if HTC built the Google Nexus 6?
Google has already confirmed that there will be a Nexus 6 later this year. While Google has revealed little else, we’ve already seen a concept that would be manufactured by Lenovo while rumours have suggested that LG could once again collaborate with Google to manufacture the next Nexus smartphone along with a Nexus smartwatch.

Concept Sunday: Imagining the Apple iPad back in 2004
Concept devices are a lot of fun (that’s why we have our Concept Sunday feature every week after all). They’re a glimpse into what we think or want our future to be like. Some are oddly prescient and some are just a little too out there but they capture our vision for the future at a moment in time. Imagining what the […]

Concept Sunday: Motorola Moto X2
Most rumours about upcoming Motorola products have focused so far on the Xplay phablet and a new DROID smartphone for Verizon Wireless. Motorola has said that it will launch a follow-up to the Moto X sometime in “late summer” but that’s essentially all we have to go on at this point. Bored after finishing up with his school work, Ramon […]
Concept Sunday: Nokia FIT phone ring
We have barely scratched the potential and promise of wearable technology to date. Smartwatches, especially the new Moto 360, are an exciting start but we all know that there is much more to come. There is no reason that wearables must be limited to our wrists. Another obvious place for wearables is our fingers. Much as many of us already […]
