			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Modu, the tiny 40.1 grams mobile device will hit the market in a month time, if there will be no <a href="http://talkingmobile.com/2008/11/21/is-modu-modufying/" target="_self">more delays</a>.<br />
Today, Israeli newspaper <a href="http://it.themarker.com/tmit/article/6769" target="_blank">published </a>more information about Modu&#8217;s investors and that modu has approximately raised 85-95 million dollars with a recent post round 10 Million investment from a European investor.<br />
But all of this pales to the next item: a new modu based on a touch screen is under development and in 8 months, the development will be over.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/23/modus-next-handset-to-sport-a-touchscreen/"><img class="alignnone" title="The New Modu?" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_EF0lnsU2Mnc/Shg3S1piL2I/AAAAAAAAAE8/fg8K4qxEYcg/s800/modu-backside-1.jpg" alt="" width="452" height="314" /></a></p>
<pre>             The New Modu?(updated)</pre>
<p>When the Modu was first announced it seemed that it will revolutionize the mobile market, or at less will create a new form factor of mobile device, rather than the standard ones.<br />
The main concept was that the cheap modu device will be the heart of a simple phone and the jackets will turn it to a feature phone. Time went by, we learnt that the cheap device will not be so cheap, it will not have a 3G connectivity, and that operator after operator delayed or cancelled the launch of the device.<br />
When most of the world is becoming more &#8220;smart&#8221; Modu will be the ultimate feature phone that can be changed from a music beast to a sms machine for just 25-100 dollars, the 2.5G chip can prove my point.<br />
Now, It seems like they start to change their strategy. Now, that&#8217;s not what the guys at Modu think, touch screen is the next modu(le). So it is not so simple anymore.</p>
<pre><img class="alignnone" title="Jackets" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_EF0lnsU2Mnc/ShW-AaGbw6I/AAAAAAAAAEg/iTqCq094NWk/s800/Modu.gif" alt="" width="219" height="218" /></pre>
<p>That is all nice and modern but what will happen to the &#8220;old&#8221; modu, the device that will be sold in less than 30 days?<br />
Who will buy  a device when a new model is waiting at the corner, moreover will the &#8220;old&#8221; jackets be supported by the new Modu?<br />
The consumers (and us) will ask those questions before buying the device, we hope Modu thought about it as well and will have the answers.</p>
<p>Update: Engadget posted a picture of (as it seems) the new Modu device</p>
