Change your phone daily with modular phone

For the mod-happy cell phone owner, Israeli-based modu sells a modular based cell phone. The core system is a little bigger than an iPod Nano, and there are several cases, each with different features and functionalities, that the base snaps into. While the phones are still not available anywhere, they are being marketed in Europe and the Middle East, but communications giant Qualcomm may be looking to bring the phone to the US as it has invested $7 million in modu.

If modu comes to the states, expect the base package to consist of the base unit and two cases, and cost about $200. The different cases can be seen on the modu website and include everything from a PDA-esque model for calendar keeping to a mp3 player. There have been negotiations between modu and Universal Music Group to create cases based on UMG artists—which include 3 Doors Down, Nelly, and Lynyrd Skynyrd—but no agreement has been reached. No official word on if or when the phones would be available, but founder Dov Moran has always delivered. Remember, this is the guy who created the USB Flash Drive technology.
