That's _very_ light on details, and I note that they're careful not to show the business end of the socket -- so is that the old tactic of an incumbent announcing vapourware in order to try and kill interest in a disruptive product that they would prefer not to have on the market?
it'll be very interesting to see if they actually "Get It". the ice-computer team - even with $100m investment - utterly failed. the team behind olpc australia, with a $AUD 10m grant from the aus govt, failed to get it. google, with project ara, failed to get it.
so... yeah...
