There has been a lot of discussion around mobile applications this year. Certainly a good sign if 2008 is to be the year of open access.

Modu makes modular mobiles
Submitted by James Whitley on Thu, Feb 21, 2008 11:05
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.
