What if you could build your smartphone yourself, with the ability to swap the very pieces that put it all together? That is exactly what Project Ara is – and despite it being shrouded in some mystery, we are going to get our first real look at the new take on smartphones when it hits the Puerto Rico test market later this year. From the very people who live for the smartphone world, our panel of four talk about whether or not such a system will be sustainable, marketable, and – perhaps most important of all – successful. This all sounds like a great way to kick off the first episode of our brand new podcast series based upon The Friday Debate threads you read here on the website.
And with that, welcome to this inaugural episode of The Friday Debate Podcast! Host Joshua Vergara is joined by lead editor Andrew Grush, writer Jonathan Feist, and our app guy Joseph Hindy to dissect Project Ara. We even talk about what kinds of Ara phones we would make ourselves. It’s all an exciting start to what will be our weekly endeavor into all topics Android.
The Friday Debate Podcast – discussing topics in Android every week.
