It's be a lot more appealing as an open source project if the base object didn't cost such a ridiculously large amount. The swiss army knife of crazy gadgets, hmm?

Yeah, open source community, go back to Linux or something. =p Or, I could just get a cell phone that does all of this and probably more, without a rediculous price, and without having to carry and switch out 10 modules.

However, I can't wait to see what the community can do with these. It is a bit pricey so I think it will take quite a while before adoption is widespread enough that BUG hacking will <i>really</i> take off. I don’t have the chops to do anything with the BUG modules.

Though, I bet it will be hard to make your own modules. You would have to get a circuit board printed or something and then write your own drivers for the device. Couldn't you simply use a standardized port like USB? Does it really have to be open source to allow modding? Plus, if a big business decides to make a module, I doubt they would open source it.

The pictures you have make this look much more appealing than the 'prototypes' they had on the show floor. I saw a video from CES that talked about this gadget.
