The BUG is a new device from Bug Labs that makes it easy to build portable electronic devices with a plug and play modular hardware system and open source software. You purchase a base unit and as many optional modules (web camera, LCD screen, camera, GPS, etc.) as you want. You can snap four different modules into the base to create your own wifi-enabled device.
This concept has a lot of promise. We’ve been able to customize our PCs for years by simply plugging in new components. Now we’ll be able to easily customize our mp3 players, video players, PDAs, and other portable devices as well.
