Most electronics are not meant to be designed or customized by the consumer. In fact, besides for the PC, users had to hope and pray that the suits heard our cries for features and product ideas. Bug Labs, a startup based in New York, hopes to change all that with their completely customizable kit system. Starting with a foundation of Linux-based micro-PC, users can then add on pieces that provide things like GPS, small displays, cameras, speakers, etc. Custom JAVA code can then be developed to accomplish nearly anything they imagine. Think of it as Lego goes high-tech. Certainly a lofty goal but it’s this kind of toolkit that may empower the home tinkerer to realize his or her dreams.
