What financial trouble? Modu T goes on sale in UK
Modu might be on life support, but that doesn't mean that its latest effort -- the touch-enabled Modu T -- isn't seeing the light of day. British retailer PurelyGadgets (which also launched the original Modu earlier this year) has just announced that it has the new model in stock, charging £149.99 (about $238) for a 2.2-inch resistive QVGA touchscreen, tiny 500mAh battery, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS, and microSD expansion to 32GB all running on Qualcomm Brew underpinnings. Pricey for what you're getting? Perhaps, but keep in mind this is the phone that Guinness has certified as the lightest touch-capable phone in the world, which is certainly a conversation point when you pull it out among friends. Looks like there are only 16 in stock at the moment -- and it's anyone's guess how long this supply chain is going to hold up -- so if you want one, we'd probably suggest you act fast.
Modu, world's lightest cellphone, lands in UK
Another day, another... oh wait, what's this? The Modu phone has been an enigmatic figure in the mobile world, treading the precipice of vaporware for a while before finally launching in its home market of Israel last year and in a few more places around the world since then. Aiming to shake up the apparently stale mobile market, this minimalist take on the phone is no larger than the standard battery in your modern smartphone and gets its name from the modular "jackets" it can slip into. They furnish it with added functionality and buttons, while also sprinkling a bit of extra style on top as well. Slide past the break to learn more about this handset, the Modu 1, together with a few teasers about the upcoming touchscreen-based Modu 2.%Gallery-97442%%Gallery-97441%
