Modu showcases production phone and accessories

Posted on 11 February 2009 by

Thought you’d seen the last of Modu, did you? Well, you were dead wrong. Dov Moran and his team have been hard at work — since we last chatted with them at Mobile World Congress in ’08 — finishing the modular device that was definitely one of the gems of the MWC show. As a recap, the Modu’s charm and versatility lays in the fact that the handset proper (pictured left) can be moved from one Modu Jacket (right) to another depending on the type of functionality needed. The heart of the magic lies in the tiny and light — lightest handset in the world we’re told — Modu phone unit, and while details are thin, we know it has been rebuilt to be tougher, memory has been upped to 2GB, and is running a new UI. Also launching are 4 jackets that Modu slips into: the night jacket, street-art jacket, classic, and express. Each jacket (priced from $25 up to $100) can add features the Modu itself doesn’t have, like night imaging, stereo speakers, music functionality, gaming, or just about anything else you can dream up. Dov stands by his hopes to get this thing into peoples hands with 2 jackets for a cool $200, here’s hoping they land here soon. Engadget Mobile has the gallery, so feel free to wander over to have a look-see.
