Modu
“Modu [recently] announced a fundamental shift in the mobile handset industry by launching the world’s first modular mobile phone, supported by variety of ecosystem partners.”
“At the heart of the ecosystem is modu - a tiny, sleek mobile phone that is fully functional and easy to use. The modu can be slipped into a wide variety of modu jackets - stylishly designed phone enclosures - and modu mates – moduenabled consumer electronics devices.”
Modu reminds me of the design work I did more than 15 years ago around the concept of a mobile multimedia device based on a modular form factor. Think of a mobile phone which can be used on a standalone basis as well as a modem for other devices. Some of you might remember my post about getting a Samsung Blackjack to do just that. Modu’s value proposition focuses on a personal mobile device which can be inserted into multiple jackets (e.g. form factors) to better deliver a given user experience.
