Modu Is The World’s Lightest Mobile Phone: Guinness Says So March 27, 2008

Meet modu, officially named the world’s lightest mobile phone by the keepers of all those sane and, not-so-sane, achievements, the Guinness Book Of Records.

According to the Book: “The lightest mobile phone is the modu, which weighs 40.1 g (1.41 oz). modu’s dimensions are 72.1mm (2.8in) x 37.6mm (1.4in) x 7.8mm (0.3in).”

Built by Modu Mobile, an Israeli firm, the phone can be used as a standalone device or slotted into other devices, like a laptop - theoretically. The phone also sports a wide array of ‘jackets’ for customisation.

modu was officially unveiled in Barcelona in February at the Mobile World Congress (MWC), and won a lot of hearts over with its minuscule dimensions and ease-of-use.

The product is also set for a brighter future than many other 'cute-but-doomed' gadgets since the company announced yesterday that it has secured $100 million in venture capital funding.-Martin Lynch
