mPaita -- nyt väreissä!

Vuonna 1998 Nokia esitteli ensimmäisenä valmistajana puhelimen, johon käyttäjä pystyi itse vaihtamaan värikuoren. Vuosia ja valmistajia myöhemmin mm. Apple alkoi tarjoamaan iPodeja eri värisinä tuotteina. Nyt, vuonna 2009, yli kymmenen vuotta ensimmäisen värikuorellisen puhelimen jälkeen, Modeemi ry tarjoaa mPaidan tilattavaksi klassisten mustan ja valkoisen lisäksi myös muissa väreissä.
