First pics: iPhone nano, but is it all a fantasy?

iphone_nano.jpg

Rumblings of an iPhone nano have been percolating for weeks now, and here are the first pics of the thus-far fantasy phone. It looks to be a 3/4 size iPhone, slimmer but every bit as attractive as its existing forebear.

We're thinking this might be a lot of wishful thinking, at least for release in January. If there were an announcement of this magnitude, Steve Jobs would be making it, and he's not going to be at the Macworld keynote next month.

Also, what exactly would be the advantage of the iPhone nano? Sure, it's smaller, but not by that much, and the iPhone's $200 price is going to make it hard for this smaller sibling to undercut. Our take? Look for the iPhone nano in June, if at all. Nice renderings, though.

Nice renderings?

Scale the original and paste.

Blah.

It would take someone skilled with Photoshop about 15 seconds to create that image. Even a relatively unskilled amateur such as myself could do it in about 2 minutes. Silly.

questionable photoshoping aside, could this be the iPhone that WalMart is rumored to start selling at $100?

they could sell the other one for $100 if they werent greedy. i bet the current one is 50% profit.

there's a little more to it than just scaling and pasting the original. the smaller one has three rows for apps as opposed to four rows for the regular size iphone.

If it is a real product in the pipeline it makes a lot of sense, because Apple will sell yet another phone to all the people that bought the firts iPhone and the 3G iPhone.

It's just a concept to show what the new "iPhone nano" may be if it be at all. So what if rendered on Photoshop. Whoopie for the whole entire world.
