Modu unveils great new Cell Phone Technology
Modu made big headlines today as they revealed their product, which has been top secret for months! What’s the product you are asking? It is actually really cool. Imagine customizing your cell phone however you want. Adding whatever features you want. Changing the cover with the season, or adding a new music player.
The product is a tiny modular cell phone. Smaller than an iPod Nano, but still has an LCD screen. The Modu module comes with basic cell features to make calls, but users slip on “jackets” to give it the look, feel and function they want. Three cell carriers have agreed to sell it in Israel, Italy and Russia. No providers in the U.S. have been approchaed yet by the Israeli startup.
To me it appears to be a great feature, allowing people to personalize their cell phone even more. Providers like the idea too. Instead of coming to their store every two years when you renew their contract, you can now come in every three months to get a new jacket.
Modu founder Dov Moran talks about the company and the concept:
