2. EDGE This Year, 3G and GPS Next Year
Modu was announced last year; this year the EDGE version with a WAP browser and music player will go on sale (available first in Israel, the Philippines and South America). The modu 2 will be available in March 2010; it will be an HSDPA phone for the US, Europe and Japan based on QUALCOMM’s BREW and with a more powerful Web browser. modu 2 will include GPS, and there will be GPS jackets to plug it into. “Think about getting into your car and plugging modu into the car navigation system, which can be built at very low cost because it's only a display,” suggests Moran; “all the software and hardware are in the basic device.”

nice... can't wait to check this baby out.
seems promising!
I hope the next generation will be more attractive.
and the Modu doesn't cost like the Iphone!
Customization 2.0.... Cool.
Great idea... I like smartphones myself, however one can see the attraction people could have to a unit like this.
Excellent. Any chance of a QWERTY keyboard jacket .
