At the end of 2006, M-Systems was sold to SanDisk Corp. for 1.6 billion US dollars . sold.
Today Dov Moran is the founder and chairman of modu. This company is working on the development of the modu , a modular mobile phone that can be used together with numerous additional devices (so-called jackets ) and which has been on the market in several countries since 2009.
