1. Upgrade Without Getting a New Phone

Do you want the same phone  at work and when you go out in the evening? Do you want a new phone without paying full price or signing up for an expensive  new contract? Do you want a cool phone that doesn’t mean a monthly data plan? How about a tiny phone that you can move from one case to another. It’s not a smartphone, but not everyone wants an iPhone or an Android phone says modu CEO Dov Moran – the man who invented the USB flash drive; they’re still less than 20% of the market. “We are targeting the midrange: people who would like to communicate email or browsing is not crucial to them. They are looking for a simple device not for over sophistication or over complication, which are happening in the high-end devices. People who say ‘I would love to have the ability to change my phone every few months without the cost of a new phone’.”

Great idea... I like smartphones myself, however one can see the attraction people could have to a unit like this.
