A leading Google advisor has dropped a subtle hint to suggest the much-vaunted Motorola X Phone may allow users to customise hardware features based on their own needs.
Rumours have been circulating in recent weeks that the X Phone will let buyers pick processor speed and and memory specs at the point of sale in much the same way as buying a laptop computer.
Now Guy Kawasaki, the former chief evangelist at Apple who joined Google-owned Motorola as in an advisory role in February, has offered the clearest indication yet that this May indeed be the case.
In a post on his Google+ page, Kawasaki added a video of a Porsche Exclusive sports car with the caption: "Wouldn't it be great if you could personalize your phone like this?"
Dream phone?
These super-fancy Porsches (not that we'd know) allow users to choose from over 600 different options, allowing the wealthy to custom-build their dream sports car.
The inference this could be applied to a smartphone will lead to all manner of speculation regarding the options Google/Moto would offer beyond processing speeds and memory and existing choices such as colour and storage size.
It sounds pretty great doesn't it, giving the customer exactly what they want? However, it also seems fair to suggest that it could lead to a manufacturing nightmare.
If reports recently are to be believed we'lll find out Moto's plans for sure at the Google I/O event in May. What would you choose to customise on an X Phone? Let us know in the comments section below.
