All the jackets that will be offered at this point are 2.5G with no touch screen involved., they will have 2GB of storage.
Dov Moran, the president of Modu, stated that 3G and touchscreen devices from the company will only be launched next year. And after it took Modu a delay of over a year to launch their first handset, that probably means it'll take them over two year before the touch phones will be out on the market.

Anyway, in my opinion the entire concept is outdated and will not fly in modern markets only in less hyper markets such as latin America (which is where they are planning on launching in the future after Asia).]]>Jul 19th 2009 2:35PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/19/modu-cellphone-reportedly-launching-this-week-in-israel/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/07/19/modu-cellphone-reportedly-launching-this-week-in-israel/
I can't see myself walking around with few jackets in my bag. Mainly because I don't carry a bag... but also because it's annoying.

I get everything I need from my iPhone, and I will not start switching jackets in the middle of the street to take a picture with better quality...

I thought they were originally shooting for jackets with 16GB of storage? Only 2.5GB is a bit of a bummer if that's true.]]>Jul 21st 2009 4:33PM
