They have the hardware, the crowd supplies the application software. Snap-on modularity meets plug-in functionality.

Buglabs's new build-your-own-gadget device has seen the light of day. By snapping on modules you can add functionality to your own gadget. You can download open source software applications or make your own to get your gadget to do whatever you want. Kind of like a mash-up for hardware.

At the moment they are sell the following modules: camera, motion detector, LCD screen, and GPS. In Q2 these will be followed up by: touch-sensitive color LCD, mini-QWERTY keyboard, barcode scanner, audio speaker with in/our mini jacks and last but not least a teleporter! All in all 20 modules will be added to the mix with 80 more in the pipeline.
