SKY MobileMedia, a leading provider of applications software for the mobile handset industry, today announces that the recently launched modu device and jacket technology is powered by the SKY-MAP(TM) Mobile Applications Software Platform. SKY-MAP has been a key enabler in modu’s innovative product line, allowing the modu device to be plugged into various modu “jackets” to dynamically enable new looks or designs and provide added functionality.

SAN DIEGO and BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 12 – At the heart of the modu ecosystem is modu — a tiny, sleek mobile phone that is fully functional and easy to use. The modu can be slipped into a wide variety of modu jackets — stylishly designed phone enclosures — and modu mates — modu-enabled consumer electronics devices. modu’s ecosystem offers boundless possibilities in a simple and affordable way.

“SKY-MAP enabled us to take our vision of bringing a fundamental change to the dynamics of the mobile phone industry and make it a reality in record time,” stated Dov Moran, CEO and founder of modu. “The ability of SKY-MAP to enable changes in the look, feel, and functionality of the mobile device and jacket — without having to reboot — was exactly what we needed in order to realize our vision within our very aggressive timetables.”

SKY-MAP is architected to be fully customizable to any desired look and feel. Along with SKY’s powerful RapidPLUS(TM) development and customization tools, this SKY-MAP architecture enables modu to drive vastly different designs and functionalities on the different modu jackets and provides jacket designers the freedom to independently build innovative jackets easily and quickly.

“The modu concept is unique in the mobile industry, and SKY is proud to be a key enabler of this concept,” stated Naser Partovi, CEO of SKY MobileMedia. “SKY is looking forward to continue supporting modu’s innovative strategy with its enabling products and technologies.”

Availability

modu has been officially launched at the Mobile World Congress, being held in Barcelona, Spain in February 2008. modu devices and jackets will be available FROM 1 October 2008.
