UK Debut of the Bite Size Modu 1

Size does matter in choosing a mobile phone that is right for you. While there are already a handful of sleek, classy mobile phones out in the market, there is only one modular mobile phone. Meet the Modu, the world’s lightest handset. This means that you will now be able to call, send text messages and play music using a device that weighs only 40.1 g. There is even Bluetooth connectivity and a 2 GB internal storage.

Bluetooth connectivity is also present, as well as MP3 playing capability and a (non-expandable) 2 GB internal storage capacity. Since the mobile phone measures only 72.1 mm high, 37.6 mm wide and 7.8 mm thick, it can only house a 1.3 inch screen. The OLED display is able to show up to 65 thousand colors, decent enough but the size of the screen may not be for everyone.

If you are worried that you may fumble with the lightweight Modu, you can always just go for a “jacket”. These jackets add new features, such as a 3.2 megapixel camera, or convert your mobile phone into, say, an 8 inch digital photo frame charging dock.

You can also turn it into a fitness buddy with its pedometer option. If you can’t sleep without a night light, the Modu can be slipped on an ambient light jacket for your convenience.

The miniscule gadget has made it into the Guinness Book of World Records, being deemed the lightest in the world. This innovative device first came out in its home country of Israel about 2 years ago, but fortunately, the Purely Gadgets website is going to sell them exclusively for the UK market. They will cost 129.99 GBP a unit and a Modu jacket can come with it at a discounted price. Check it out at the web store this month.
