Remember the Modu phone? It allowed you to pop it in and out of different 'jackets', each of which had different features, so you could effectively turn it into a multitude of devices. Confused? That's perfectly understandable, which is why we've got a video so you can see what on Earth we're talking about.
From sat-navs to smart phones, this tiny handset is a tech-filled Pop Tart just waiting for you to try its tasty filling. At the moment it's not available in the UK, but we're full-square behind the concept and hope it makes it to our smelly shores lickety-split. -Andrew Lim

I really like the idea of this, it seems to be pretty flexible which is surely a good thing. The question is, will it be affordable?

Lame. I honestly don't believe that this tat will ever sell.

It's got potential, but I don't think its something that will please early adopters.

I'm interested to see how this works. I think from a business point of view, it's only going to really take off if they licence "ecosystem devices" to third party companies. Then you'll see the innovation that this platform has the potential for.

The whole idea of having a smartphone is that we don't need to carry numerous devices. The objective is convergence. Hence we have smartphones which are PDAs, cameras, phones, diary, video cam, music player, websurfing etc etc ALL IN ONE DEVICE.
I don't think this phone is going to take off because it is the anti-thesis to the concept of convergence.
Sure, it is small but to use it as a phone it needs to wear a 'phone' jacket. So, what? I don't see any benefits. I don't want to be carrying numerous 'jackets' with me.
Really a lame idea. Won't take off, I guarantee you.
