The modu phone acts as a physical token or key. The modu slot in all these 3rd party devices is like a keyhole. Lose a modu phone, and you're in for more than the usual trip to the locksmith.

And God help us all if we happen to lose the media player or the GPS module for it. Again, the article does start that modu isn't even going live until 2009, so I'm sure they'll find a work around for this. The thing that has got me the most interested in MWC is the android prototypes floating around. Gizmodo has a nice video displaying the UI: http://gizmodo.com/354849/android-hands+on-video-its-fast-its-still-not-there I got nothing but love for google and hope that they can figure out how to make this work. Open platform cell phone FTW! The concept behind the modular cell phone is an interesting one, but there is one fatal flaw behind it all: that means I have to carry around more stuff.
