It seems like it was just yesterday that I was writing about some of the favourite Moto Mod concepts we’ve seen… oh wait, it was! By some strange cosmic coincidence, Motorola has announced some of the finalists for the Indiegogo “Transform the Smartphone Challenge” and a number of them appeared in our write up from yesterday.
Out of the finalists, 12 have already set up their Indiegogo campaigns and concepts range from wireless and solar chargers to health monitoring devices, walkie-talkies, and smart home solutions. Finalists have received a Moto Mods Development Kit and a Moto Z to continue development. Motorola will announce up to 10 grand prize winners and, along with hackathon winners, will receive a trip to pitch their Moto Mods idea to Motorola’s executive development team in Chicago.
Not only will finalists be pitching their ideas, they will receive mentoring and may even walk away with an investment from a $1 million fund for Moto Mods development set aside by Lenovo Capital.
