I've heard the same story. As I understand it, this would
be for ITE's only. They would be working from some form
of standard modules which could be plugged together in the
same way we would switch a board(s) in our CPU's. My cursority
lies with how the final mold would be created. I've not heard
exactly how this will be done. My guess would be to put it
all together in a standard hard shell and then just hollow out
the silicone impression and presto!
