LG are touting the KF700 slider as the world's first mobile with three input/navigation methods. So what are they?

Well the 2008 MWC was the year that everyone got their touch on and LG sure didn't let us down. The KF700 has a slick, although not particularly quick, touchscreen interface that emits a pleasant vibration in response to your tap - the latter being a particularly nice touch.

You can pan across the screen and scan through your contacts - a la the iPhone - as well as the keypad-like functionality of the 3-inch, wide-ratio touchscreen.

Second of this heralded trio, comes the navigation click wheel. As well as cycling through contacts and menus, it also can be activated as a shortcut to your favourite applications. This real-time widget works particularly well as it saves the hassle of trawling back through the screens to access, say, your contacts.

Finally comes the keypad. Wait, we're counting the keypad? Yes, OK? we're counting the keypad. Well that's nothing to post a myspace bulletin about really.

The phone has a pretty standard 3mp camera, but it does interact very well when using the touch screen to view and organise your pictures.

So have a gander at the video - it's our fifth this week from MWC - leave a comment and let us know what you think. Which handset has been the King of the Congress for you?

So you're getting tired of your phone, but don't want to shell out for a new one. Well soon you'll be able to change it completely, without spending a fortune.

It's called modu, and is the world's first modular phone. Want to turn it into a music mobile? Just slide it into the boombox casing, complete with speaker.

What about transforming it into a satnav? No problem. Like the Lego bricks of our youth, just bolt on extras to the core device. And as new ones come out, theoretically the number of phones you can have is limitless.

Extras touted at present include MP4 players, digital photo frames, cameras and DECT phones. Those signed-up to make the modu 'jackets' (skin-like enclosures) and modu 'mates' (electronic devices you slide it into) include Blaupunkt and Universal Music Group.

"What modu have done is incredible," said Rob Wells, Senior Vice President, Digital, Universal Music Group International. "Their revolutionary platform has opened up mobile phones to new music products and services that simply didn't exist before modu came along."

So when will modu come along? Expect it and Universal's range of jackets based on their artists to land on the shelves around October time. Forget the N96, this is every phone you've ever dreamed of in one. Check it out at the link below.

Boy is this starting to get confusing. After Microsoft weighed in with a massive $40 billion offer for Yahoo, rejected for 'undervaluing' the company, Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation has now stepped in.

According to the Murdoch owned Wall Street Journal, News Corp is in talks about a deal which would see Yahoo merge with MySpace. The Aussie tycoon snapped up the social network in 2005.

Details remain sketchy, but it's believed News Corp would take a 20% stake, allowing Google's main rival to remain independent.

Having access to the likes of MySpace could potentially make Yahoo a more realistic competitor to Google, and would probably be a more attractive option than straiking a deal with MSN.

This one looks like it could drag on for the best part of the year. As ever, as soon as we get sniff of some news, you'll be the first to know.
