What I think is going to happen With updatable divices

[TFL!]

Meant to insert Self updateable
You will buy a simple mod Say VV/VW 10 watts 6 volts.
You want 20 watts the upgrade software will cost X$
Temp= X$
100, 200 watts = X$
You will end up ordering the Items you want at a cost for each. Just like computer programs. You will have to have a key to make them work and you will pay for that.
Just my 2cents

Borrowed from Janty and the MID and Joyetech's MVR/evic.

Nah... I'll have to give it a pass.

DLC (downloadable content) is a good idea. Use want you want and upgrades are there if you need them. As chip sets become more advanced and have the ability to withstand higher temps, this will most likely happen. In my head I see visions of android type devices with apps.

 

[Ou2mame]

Yeah I'm waiting for mods running Android or another small platform os. It'll happen, just like digital cameras. I don't think they will be able to add hardware ability as easily, because the hardware keeps changing, but it would be nice. There are already bluetooth capable mods, and upgradable firmware so who knows. But the device will have to include the hardware required for the software to run, which is an added expense. It used to be cheaper to manufacture one chip and alter them to he different levels, but as the cost of manufacturing has come down and skilled labor has gone up, it's less cost effective to use higher cost internals in budget software.

Wouldn't it be battery power dependent though..

 

[bussdriver]

Wouldn't get itself off the ground. Even though chip technology is changing, a 200 watt programmable chipset isn't put into a simple 20 watt device. Too much cost and size and support component differences. Serious updates would also require changing batteries/capacities/current capabilities. Some folks want an ego battery, some want to make clouds. And I ain't gonna pay fifty bucks for an ego battery just because some fool says it's infinitely upgradeable.

Pending and future legislation on all goobermental levels MAY also play a role in what we are able to develop.

Ohhh, then all the really good stuff will be on the deep web.

You might get alternate or customizable menu interfaces.

If somebody did make a device where they put in the hardware for 200 watts but sold it with a 20 watt limit and you had to pay for "upgrade" (really just a key) to use the 200 watts, I would boycott that company

I'm in California and I can't wait for my new catalytic converter to arrive that bolts to the side of my Yihi.

That's funny!!

 

[Rizzyking]

Nope never gonna happen for all the reasons above and the main fact that a lot of money would have to be gambled to try it out I don't see any company willing to take the chance. Also there are some users who use their hardware as a public statement of their spending power the idea of them buying into this is slight at best.

 

[TFL!]

The updatable mods are already out there, and the chips and boards can most likely be programed to do more then they do now.

 

[VHRB2014]

Oh Man!

Just give me a battery, wire, wick and juice. LOL.

(If it will do my dishes too, I may consider it, :?)

 

[Rizzyking]

Yes there are a few mods out there that get upgraded but the upgrade is a bonus now try telling people they have to pày more money to get that feature and see how long that business plan lasts .

 

[KattMamma]

Not gonna happen - for all the reasons above, plus it would just get hacked within 5 minutes of release..

The newest ones update wirelessly so the government can update them for you.
