Cyanogen wants to sell little pieces of its Android OS as ‘Mods’

Cyanogen — the company that builds custom versions of Android (including Microsoft software) for manufactures — is shaking itself up. It announced today that it has a new CEO, Lior Tal, and a new strategy. It’s a weird one: instead of trying to get OEMs to license its entire OS, it’s breaking its features up into “Mods” that can be applied to any core Android install. So manufacturers will be able to pick and choose what features they want to include.
