What if you could easily change the camera, processor, or the battery of your smartphone? Or add a new feature altogether?

Google's Motorola has unveiled Project Ara, an open hardware platform for building modular smartphones.

The idea behind the project, led by Motorola's Advanced Technology and Projects group, is to turn almost everything in a smartphone — display, keyboard, battery, processor — into a module that can be replaced.
