Update 08/17/2015:

Google posted a new tweet on their twitter page which points to US locations for possibly the market pilot, and a 2016 date which kind of sucks, but it was a slim possibility that Ara would be made available in 2015.

Where are we headed next? We are looking at a few locations in the U.S. #ProjectAra #newlocationcomingsoon — Project Ara (@ProjectAra) August 17, 2015

Fans of the most anticipated modular smartphone Ara, have been waiting for months hoping to get their hands on what is expected to be the most revolutionary smartphone to date. From a recent tweet, which you can see below it seem that the long talked about market pilot location Puerto Rico could be cancelled.

Currently Google is expected to be working on spiral 3 which is the third version of Ara and the version that is expected to be launched in the market pilot that was first scheduled for Puerto Rico. Now, in addition to the chance of the market pilot location, it is also possible that we could see a further delay to the initial public access to the version of the device (spiral 3) that was previously scheduled to be made available at the market pilot in Puerto Rico.

A change in the market pilot location for Ara might actually not be a negative, but could also be a positive. If the market pilot gets rerouted to the US, this could lead to a much quicker official launch, which most definitely will be a good thing for all of us. In addition, a US launch will result in a much better access to the device for persons hoping to get their hands on it as soon as possible. In a follow up tweet however (see below) Google added “And this is not goodbye Puerto Rico!”

So what does this mean? It is possible that we could now have two market pilot locations? Or are they doing away with the market pilot?

Google promises to release an update this week, so stay tuned.
