Revolutionary phone!!

Now use more than 5 designs of moblies in a week!

Israeli manufacturer Modu claims their eponymous phone the smallest in the world. It certainly looks like the smallest with barely room for a regular numeric keypad. Instead, users have a set tic-tac-toe buttons. The screen is tiny as well, so I guess we can forget about watching videos on this 42-gram cell phone.

The “revolutionary” idea doesn’t stop in its small size. Modu Mobile comes with “jackets” that add functionality to the phone, i.e. a regular keypad. Dav Moran, the maker of Modu, is the same man who brought us the USB flash drive and his phone has very similar characteristics with the USB.

Besides the jackets, the phone seems to fit into just about everything: car radio, PDA, laptop as an express card. Modular phones are not new but Modu brings the form factor and fashionableness into the concept. Hopefully, before its October shipping, Modu can show us more of what the phone can do.


Still surprised? Watch the video:
