Modu's next handset to sport a touchscreen?

Modu may be down, but unlike one Ricky Hatton, it ain't out. We haven't heard a whole heck of a lot from the niche handset maker since it handed out pink slips to around one-forth of its workforce, but now that things are looking a bit brighter, it seems as if innovation is back in full force. In fact, a new report on the outfit has it that its next cellphone will pack a touchscreen in order to fit the mold of today's finger-friendly array. Aside from being "iPhone like" (its words, not ours), little else is known about the forthcoming device, though we're told that development should be complete in around eight months. So, anyone wagering that R&D accelerates that just a touch to get this thing out by CES 2010?

For gods sake.. they haven't even released their fist phone yet, let alone start on the next.

I feel sorry for Ricky Hatton: the biggest fight of his life, in front of 30,000 fans and millions watching it live on TV... yet he has to watch the highlights just to see how it ended.

It's iPhone-like because it makes and receives phone calls?

[Dmnova @ May 23rd 2009 11:02AM]

Dude, what's up with the Hatton hate? Manny was just too effin good. You made it like Hatton was a can that gets KOed all the time.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about.

[Tyler @ May 23rd 2009 11:56AM]

Did Hatton just get burned? On Engadget?? Wow...and here I thought I was reading about a cellphone...

Another "me too" product as a result of the revolutionary iPhone and its award winning multi-touch user interface.

For a second there, I was certain that you were Jubei. Then I read your username and realized it was even worse. You are now the "me too" troll of Jubei.
