CES 2008: Bug Labs-Build Your Own Gadget



Bug Labs generated some of the biggest buzz at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show with their infinitely hackable and customizable gadget. Modules like a camera, GPS unit, motion sensor, and LCD screen can snap on to a tiny Linux computer, and the whole project is open source. IEEE Spectrum talked to Mehrshad Mansouri from Bug Labs about this new direction in consumer electronics. Be sure to check out part two of the interview, where we talk to Jeremy Toeman about how the device actually works….

      great idea! I need it in rubberized please!
      If this can run linux, applications will be designed by users, but it won’t be viable as a video game replacement or total computer replacement.
      It would be very important that they resolve technological expansion issues – otherwise it will be like having to buy a whole new game system AND cartidges for software you could already have.
      Gadgets are great to play with, but if I’m going to buy an accessories gadget, i want it infinitely upgradeable

      Simply brilliant. This is the way electronic gadgets are going anyway. A phone that shows video, a GPS that sends text, etc. We dont buy an individual product, just a “thing” that does the thing/s we want. They have just taken it to the extreme. Needs to be styled a littled more. Colours?

      good idea, but its a sandbox concept that can only go as far as the power thats available within the primary component. Specialized items are always more powerful in application therefore it’ll fail mainstream. But at least the tech gadget diy’s have something great to play with.

      now if you started reading this dont stop its really scarey!ok send this to five other videos in 143 minutes.When you are done press F6 and your crushes name will apear on the screen in big letters this is weird because it does work.If you break this chance you wont have a crush in the next five years

    6. AnimationMaster99 says:

      Very neat idea, but it might not make a gigantic splash.

    7. weirddork says:

      DONT READ THIS IM SOOOO SORRY EVERY1!!!If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vids your mom will die in 4 hours

    8. Nanosempai says:

      I think this seems like a really cool and interesting idea but I doubt that it will ever become mainstream.

    9. lassefa says:

      Fantastico wonderful gadget.

    10. samikalastaja says:

      I really like the idea but will the number of customers be enough to keep this one in business?

    11. 04rossca says:

      399!
      FUCK THAT
      But its still cool

    12. kingstonr312 says:

      Where can I buy one?

    13. Citizenhatred says:

      Thats great, but my Nokia N95 already does everything he just said…..and more. I’ll stick with my Nokia.

    14. animation508 says:

      I WANT ONE!!!
