An stunning all-in-one mobile phone, that can also be turned into a real GPS device, computer, IPOd-like MP3 player, Hard Drive, digital camera… Does it make coffee too ?
Every two years or so, you have to overcome the same trauma : no matter how many times you’ve said “Never again”, you find yourself buying a brand new mobile phone “because one has to live in his time and, well, this model is FAR MORE useful than my old dinosaur phone”
I won’t say anything on consumerism, global warming, hierarchy of the human being’s needs, as the only thing that comes to my mind when I plan on having a new phone is much more emotional. Have you ever noticed how attached we are to OUR mobile phone, this damn stupid plastic box ? It is not just a familiar tool, it is now something as intimate as our clothes.
So, when we have to change it, we wish we could keep our good old cell phone, just adding it the few functions it doesn’t have. Pathetic, but human.
Israel-based Hi-Tech firm MODU has just issued a brand new phone, that may “build the bridge” between “Ancients” and “Moderns”.The concept of this phone reminds… this nut-driving Rubik’s Cube we used to play with back in the 80’s !
The concept will certainly convince people who dislike the idea of losing their daily companion when a new generation of mobile phones is issued.
Other smartphones, like the Nokia N95, can do quite the same things as the MODu does, without the geeky charm of the various Lego-like additional modules.
Considering this, the success or failure of the MODU will depend on the price and reliability of the modules.
But if you show up in parties, and start to disassemble your mobile, you may easily convince your friends that you ARE the tricky guy who invented the MODU. Priceless !
