Saying that iPhone âchanged the way we think about how mobile media devices should look, feel and perform,â Time Magazine put iPhone at the top of its list of âTop 10 Gadgets.â iPhoneâs design, Time says, âis exceptional inside and out: Itâs got a slick glass-and-stainless steel case and an elegant touch screen loaded with eye candy. Itâs an iPod and a 2-megapixel camera. Images and video clips display vertically or horizontallyâthey reorient themselves depending on how you hold the thing. When the phone detects a wireless network within rangeâyour own home wi-fi set up or somebody elseâsâit lets you tap once to connect, and then proceed with your Web surfing, Google mapping, emailing and other activities.â

A mobile phone debuting Thursday, the Modu, combines futuristic cues from the robot-morphing &quot;Transformers&quot; show with the snappy appeal of Legos.Rather than buying a new mobile phone every couple years, a person can just slide a new &quot;jacket,&quot; or external casing, over the core phone, said Itay Sherman, chief technology officer for Modu, the Israeli company behind its namesake device.Modu, the brainchild of USB (Universal Serial Bus) flash drive inventor Dov Moran, will be on display next week at the Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona.Modu, which can be used to make calls minus a jacket, will cost around &#8364;200 ($290). A jacket will cost &#8364;20 to &#8364;60 each. A jacket contains its own configuration file that enables it to display strikingly different graphic and color schemes on its own screen while connected to the underlying Modu.&quot;You can completely change the way the phone looks,&quot; said Sherman, adding that a QWERTY keyboard could be an option for business users.Operators think the concept will allow them to keep subscribers longer. Modu said on Thursday it has struck deals with Telecom Italia and VimpelCom, Russia&#39;s second-largest operator, which are expected to start selling the device by October.But much bigger plans for Modu are in the works. The company is encouraging other manufacturers to create compatible devices -- or &quot;mates&quot; -- that can use Modu&#39;s data and applications. In turn, the devices can use Modu&#39;s cellular connectivity, Sherman said.For example, a GPS (Global Positioning System) could display maps for addresses that a user has saved on Modu. A home cordless phone could display numbers and other address book information when a Modu is plugged into its base. A car&#39;s speaker system could be used to amplify phone calls while someone is driving.So far Modu says it is working with Magellan Navigation and stereo-maker Blaupunkt, part of Bosch. The first mates should come out in 2009, Sherman said.Modu has attracted others interested in marketing opportunities centered around the jackets. Also on Thursday, Modu said Universal Music Group will develop jackets with preloaded content from its artists and music-themed designs.The Modu is a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) quad-band phone that weighs 1.5 ounces and is 0.3 inches thick without a jacket.The first-generation Modu will have 1GB of flash memory, roughly enough for 240 songs. So far, Modu does not have any agreements with music download services, Sherman said.Modu has a GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) radio, Sherman said. In the first half of 2009, a 3G (third-generation) model should be available, which would allow faster download speeds, he said.

Writing for USA Today, Edward Baig finds iPhone âindeed worth lusting after.â Apple, he says, âhas delivered a prodigyâa slender fashion phone, a slick iPod, and an Internet experience unlike any before it on a mobile handset.â âThe most chic cellphone Iâve seen,â iPhone is âa breeze to set up and fun to use, evident from the moment you slide your finger across the screen to unlock it. Itâs a wonderful widescreen iPod and fabulous picture viewer.â And he tells us that âmaking calls was surprisingly simple. You can flick through your list of contacts or favorites â¦ and then tap on a name to make a call or send a text message. The keys of the virtual keypad are large enough so that dialing a number manually â or punching in a code to access voice mail remotely â is easy. I rarely made a mistake.â He awards iPhone 3.5 stars out of 4.

The cellphone industry went to Barcelona to âshow off the latest and greatest phonesâ and, once again, hardware took center stage. But, Victoria Shannon (New York Times) points out, âsoftware is growing in importance as smartphones, capable of accessing the Web, become more popular.â So, Shannon continues, âit was no surprise that many of the phones were iPhone clones â with touch screens, sleek flat shapes and spare software interfaces. Apple was able to make a phone that paid equal attention to the software and the hardware. And the rest of the industry was following suit here.â
