Google Reveals the Crazy ModularPhones Ara Will Let You Build

Google has already been very open when it comes its modular Ara phone, and now a Module Development Kit for the phone reveals more about the device than ever.
As you might expect, a lot of the information in the document is necessarily technical, but it's interesting for all of us because explains how the individuals modules will interact with the main frame of the phone—the part Google refers to as the Endo.
