Interesting post about plug-in gadgets - actual physical devices that fit together to create unique combo devices. "Some of their initial add on hardware modules (image at right) include a GPS, digital camera/videocam, touch sensitive color LCD screen and an accelerometer/motion sensor-all of which snap together with the BUGbase, of course, and can be programmed with the open source software SDK." I like that - I could have my iPhone without the part I consider most useless: the phone. See also Hodgins's post on the snowflake effect, "where mass personalization, mass customization, mass contribution are all available to try."
