It's true—Crave reports that The Guinness World Records named the Modu phone as the lightest cell phone in the world.

The "half-a-phone," which we reported on last month, weighs just 1.5 ounces and measures 2.8 by 1.4 by 0.3 inches.

If you recall, the Modu is a modular cell phone that can be placed into "jackets" that change the both the appearance and the functionality of the handset, the article said. The Modu itself has a few cell-phone-like features, such as a small display, a mini USB jack, and a couple of controls. It does work by itself, but the whole point is that Modu can sell you extra jackets that turn it into a full-size point-and-shoot camera, a messaging handset, and especially, different colors and fashions from the company's "Spring Collection" and "Fall Collection."
