Modular Mobile Integrated Into Laptop

ASUS and Modu are combining their powers and you should be excited, unless you don’t like the idea of a slick mobile phone built into a portable computer, in which case you’re really on the wrong page. ASUS build high-quality computer components, with a recent stress on netbooks, while Modu make modular mobile phones: the resulting hybrid product aims to integrate a phone into a laptop, eliminating at a stroke every connection issue you’ve ever had – and well in-tune with recent reports that people use phones for data far more than for speech.

The Modu will have a custom dock in the computer, automatically connecting to act as a 3G connection.  It’s also aimed at the fashion conscious, as the cute mini-phone’s cover can be completely replaced from a wide selection of shells.
