Motorola has announced two new Moto Mods for
compatible devices, the Lenovo Vital and the Livermorium Slider Keyboard.
The Lenovo Vital is easily the more interesting of
the two. It is a health monitor that can be slapped on the back of your phone
and measure your heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, core body
temperature and for the first time, accurate systolic and diastolic blood
pressure from your finger.
The other Mod isn't remotely as interesting. It's a
slider keyboard mod that slides out from under your phone and lets you type
like it's still 2008. This Mod is the winner of the Transform the Smartphone
Challenge with Indiegogo and made by Livermorium.
Coming back to the Lenovo Vital, it will be
available in April and is priced at an eye-watering US$ 395, which is sure to mess
with your vitals. The Slider Keyboard is a bit more affordable but still
expensive $99 and will be available later this year in winter.
