Modu, The Super Phone



Yes it is gimmicky. And yes, it is superfluous, especially in today's economy. But this is America, and if we don't buy all the gimmicky, superfluous, trendy things, then who will?

Modu is, well, a module. The entire concept is this pretty much; You live a business lifestyle, so you want a phone that can run, say, Windows, can send emails, and even have a nifty little calculator app. But what about that weekend jog to shave off those pounds fatty? Despite how slender it is, the iPhone isn't a joggers bestfriend, and neither are most smartphones. So what if you could have a smartphone that could transform into a small, simple, music playing phone? A compact, lightweight cardio-companion if you will. Therein lies the magic of Modu, all your needs, in the from of "jackets".

Jackets are the butter to Modu's bread. If you look at the above picture, you will see what looks like 5 different devices. Right? Wrong! Each, and every single one of those is Modu with a different jacket. The device in the middle is Modu "naked" if you will, wearing no jacket. Each other is a different jacket described below

"-Night jacket: inspired by the nightlife scene, this jacket includes futuristic styling with an edgy keypad, flashing lights, night mode imaging and a unique graphical user interface
-Street-art jacket: capturing the expressive and vibrant street art scene, this jacket fea tures stereo speak ers and dedicated music keys for a powerful music experience
-Classic jacket: designed to fit the everyday needs of a modern lifestyle, this jacket carries all essential mobile communication features with an air of elegance and fine taste
-Express jacket: this jacket transforms the modu phone and user interface with a rain bow of fun, playful flavors "



It comes with complete mobile functionality, a music player, and 2 GB's of "Mass Storage". I'm sorry, but 2G's hasn't been mass storage since you could buy a 2GB USB drive on Tiger Direct for $5.99.

The bottom line is this. This is a device with unlimited capabilities, and if they have an option to up the memory a bit, I think this is the future of mobile devices. You can quote me on that, just make sure to send any royalty checks my way haha.
