Re: specify parts like on laptops
Yes, called "Ara".
It's certainly not "right now", and disappointingly, "very soon" probably means "Maybe in 2015".
It could finally be the antidote to the manufacturers locking batteries inside the phone, or leaving out SD card slots.
I just wish they'd hurry up, I've got a middle-aged HTC that, because of Ara, I've not replaced yet.
