Modu mystery unravelled, look ma, a modular handset


Mystery solved, modu is of course, a modular cellular handset -- the answer was in the name the whole time, clever. The fun begins with the idea that the actual handset can be slipped into "modu jackets" which let users completely change the look of their handset without having to replace it -- we see the potential for way too much glittery gem-encrusted foolishness here. The other half of the deal is slapping the modu into different modu-enabled consumer electronics, or "modu mates" -- think car stereos, photo frames, DAPs, and whatever else you can dream up. If we were betting types, we think modu is on to something pretty interesting here, and it seems with likes of Blaupunkt, Universal Music, and SanDisk already onboard, the Q4 launch might prove to be something special. We don't have any pics showing detail or any technical specs handy just now, but rest assured, we're going to be all over them at Mobile World Congress for more info.

Modu: feast of vivid, confusing imagery teases new wireless product


So some new start-up is getting ready to come out of stealth mode and wow the world with its innovative, paradigm-shifting gadget -- but naturally, you've gotta build a little bit of buzz before you can cross that bridge. Modu's website is devoid of information that might lead us to conclude what kind of device the firm is prepping, but the teaser video is a psychedelic trip through a day in some Modu user's life during which we can make out a few ultra-brief moments of some pretty hot looking... something or other. About all we know is that there are cell radios involved; if we had to venture a guess, we'd say they're doing up sort of wireless module that can be popped into a variety of devices, providing voice and 3G data, contacts, multimedia stuff, and other digital miscellany -- sort of like Bluetooth, but the transport layer becomes a physical piece of equipment. Well, what do you think it is, eh?
