You can now make your own mobile phone
Who says only big companies like Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola can design and manufacture a feature-packed mobile phone? Well not until Bug Labs came into existence.
BUG Labs is a manufacturer and provider of BUG, an open source, web-based, modular software and hardware platform. The purpose of BUG is to provide solutions for enthusiasts, developers and engineers on their gadget needs.
Bug Labs is a new kind of technology company, enabling a new generation of engineers to tap their creativity and build any type of device they want, without having to solder, learn solid state electronics, or go to China. Bug Labs envisions a future where CE stands for Community Electronics, the term “mashups” applies equally to hardware as it does to Web services, and entrepreneurs can appeal to numerous markets by inventing “The Long Tail” of devices.
BUG Labs technology can be compared to Lego. Parts or modules are combined, paired and matched to produce infinite possibilities of devices which can be invented. BUG Labs also provide an SDK for those developers who might want to add personalized functionalities on their device.
Examples of these modules are GPS, Camera, Touch Sensitive LCD, Accelerometer, QWERTY Keyboard, and Audio Speakers with input/output Jacks. Now anyone can make an ultra-powerful mobile phone from these modules.
