Me-Mo - A Modular Concept Phone

It's clear that a reasonable number of users prefer to have one device to do as many things as possible rather than many bulky devices to carry around.

Mobile phones are starting to be the best solution if you're looking for an MP3 player, camera and camcorder all packed up in a smaller case.

And even if the quality isn't the same as in the case of special devices for taking snapshots or listening to music, sometimes it matters more to be able to carry all this along rather than having quality devices and having to leave them at home because it would take a backpack to fit them all.

Moreover, it is somewhat expensive to buy all those devices. But just how many things can one do with a mobile phone? Peter Norberg has designed one such phone that splits up into different modules depending on what parts you need.

A keyboard, screen, GPS, camera or MP3 player can be removed when the user doesn't need them and the accessories can be easily snapped back onto the back of the master unit with jacket-buttons at any time.

Also, according to the designer: "the user can place extra buttons on clothing, bags, walls, furniture etc. to connect the me-mo products where he or she likes. The creativity sets the limits."

The only thing that remains a mystery is how exactly the phone will detect the attached parts. For the moment, the phone is a concept and there is no information on when and if it will go into production. As with most concept phones, it's very unlikely that it will be available for sale anytime soon.
