I think that this surface under 'the other half' is an over removable cover under which you can see the battary and card slot and other things like some contacts to the attached hardware... They never showed us the back (without the other half) exactly till now and nobody came up with the idea of asking to show the battery.
So I think you can also replace this black cover with an other one which is adjusted to specific 'other halfs'' with e.g. cavities for some contacts...
Edit:
BTW: I just reading this and don't believe anymore that Jolla considered the option of a hardware keyboard because SailfishOS is only working in portrait mode at the moment...

"The Other Half" and Jolla made it to BBC among the top 10 most read stories of today. Read by ordinary people, not geeks. Now, that's something!

I think they need to release as much info as possible about the OH ASAP, including circuit diagrams, APIs, and 3D drawings of the interface with the back of the phone half. This would enable the community to design their own OHs. They could tap in to the Maker Culture and find another market to exploit.
This is the spirit in which they constantly speak, yet they don't follow through, so far...

He says it almost verbatim in this interview. He also himself mentions examples of use as a bigger flash and bigger battery, so it's not just rumour.
What puzzles me is that they focus *so much* on being able to change the colors when they apparently plan to provide a way to actually change and adapt the hardware components (und thus use cases) of your phone.
They deserve to have until Dec at the very latest before they reveal everything, they're a tiny start-up with limited resources after all.
But if they're not going to deliver something substantial by then, well they really need to ease-off on talking up this "other half" thing.

Jolla should definitivly NOT fokus on Android support when marketing they'r OS/Phone, it will not work good anyway trust me on that.
Jolla fokus should be. Other Half, The community, QtQuick2 and HTML5. THATS the future!
If you really want Android get an Android phone.

One thing I noticed in a FAQ at jolla.com/care, regarding The Other Half, is that:
So apparently we will have a TOH in our hands to examine it some time before phone launch.
(on the other side, for those who are not 'makers', what are they going to do with TOH without having the phone yet? Me, I'm already warming up the 3D printer)
