Remember Modu? A few years ago these guys took MWC by storm, promising a tiny phone that fit into different sleeves that offered various functions like game playing and movie playback. Why not have one phone that’s good at all of those and didn’t use the sleeves? We still don’t know, but Modu is still kicking and they just released the Modu T.
The T is a Java-powered 3G miniphone that is apparently the “lightest phone in the world,” not that people have been concerned about weight thus far. Regardless, it appears to be available overseas and an upcoming Android model, called the W, should be considerably more interesting.
Regardless, you’ll probably never see it in the wild so enjoy looking at it here.
In addition, modu, in its new phone, has put an emphasis on voice quality and an easy to use and friendly User Interface, at an attractive price. modu T is being introduced today for the first time, and is expected to be launched soon in various countries.
modu T includes a wide variety of applications such as: YouTube™, Google™ Search, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, TuneWiki, eBuddy and Snaptu. modu T operates on Qualcomm’s Brew operating system.
Dov Moran, CEO and founder of modu, comments: “we are pleased and proud to introduce today our brand new products. We have undergone a difficult time in which we have learned, innovated and grew stronger and I truly believe that we are on the right track to becoming a leading company in its field. The mobile industry is considerable in size and is currently undergoing changes which would allow for companies like modu to enter the market and be worthy players in this industry.
modu T is unique in its modularity, enabling connectivity with the different “fy” devices, which allow it to have additional features and functionalities which extend the user experience to higher levels. This modularity allows each user to enjoy advanced functionalities which are specifically relevant to each such user, while enabling specific compatibility to such user’s changing needs and preferences. The connectivity to the “fy” devices is done through a unique technology developed by modu.

In addition modu is scheduled to launch in the near future its modu W – a Wi-Fi based device with a touch screen operating on the Android operating system.
