Modu makes modular mobiles

Modu has gotten quite a bit of press lately for its modular mobile system. The concept is simple, make the brains of the mobile device a portable module that can be plugged into multiple devices of various size, shape, form, and function. Essentially the convergence of a SIM card, flash drive, CPU and OS, all on a small transferable module. An intriguing concept to be sure, but one that might be somewhat ahead of its time.

As technology advances it’s clear that no one device fits all. With technology shrinking into smaller packages we are getting closer to an era where our identities travel with us and make use of the devices needed within our current context. One of the biggest challenges in that type of world is the need for standards, or at least a Babel Fish which can translate disparate data between two devices.

Wouldn’t it be cool...
