I never said that it was real, I agree it was faked, I was just saying that the time thing is not sufficient evidence.

Basically, when Steve comes out and gives presentations, everyone questions his health, because he keeps getting skinnier and skinnier, or smaller and smaller. Understanding that makes the joke work.
i disagree. who said this "rumor" iPhone would have the same amount of storage as the current iPhone and therefore be the same price?
oh...and happy holidays.
If it is real it is going to be a seeing is believing type deal
Kinda like the rumor with the glass trackpad for the macbooks. Nobody thought that made sense until it came out.

Possible
Ok, a while back I heard of apple to start selling $100 iPhones in walmart. This completely agrees with that rumor. I also heard that a stylus pen was in the works. That would solve the tiny screen problem. I also agree that it could just be a phone and email server, not a Internet interface.
So this does have some credibility, but I'm personally hoping for a touch screen tablet.

there's a 3rd party stylus that work pretty well for most things. but like someone else said, the stylus goes against the original idea for the iPhone
Even if all of the pictures are fakes, this kind of buzz has to be getting the attention of somebody at Apple. We'll see a Nano someday.
not AT&T?
It seems to me that the primary advantage of an iPhone Nano would be if they could offer it through another carrier. Since they want to continue with the world market it would have to be a GSM device, which would limit said selection to T-Mobile.
It would be pretty ironic if people ended up jail-breaking iPhone Nanos to work with AT&T. Anyway, offering it on a different network would allow them to structure the plans differently than for the current iPhones, although aside from the GPS I'm not sure why it would be any lower. It's not as though people will talk or email less on a smaller device. Agreed, however, that it does not make much sense to worry about the difference between $197 and $99 when you'll end up spending $1799 on monthly charges!
If they can make the phone work (landscape-only mode?) then I would be interested in a smaller iPhone. I've been able to resist the urge to buy an iPhone so far because of the vast difference in the price plans between what I'm paying for my Blackberry Pearl with Sprint and the iPhone price plans. Although I'll probably bite the bullet once they add cut and paste to the iPhone. I just can't bring myself to pay more for what is essentially a toy. In the meantime, I consider the smaller form factor and significantly reduced weight of the Pearl to be significant advantages, so I fit the profile of someone who is interested in an iPhone nano.

I've got a touch screen mobile which has a screen only 1/2 the size of the iphone and i've got no problem emailing, texting and internet browsing with my thumb/fingers, so the whole stylus thing is basically stupid.
The first two are Chinese ripoffs, the third is a ridiculous square, the fourth goes against the foundation of the iPhone (Insane. What is this, 1880? I'm not using a rotary touchscreen!), and I don't understand half of the perspectives on the last one.
That all Aluminum one is HoooOTT! I want iPhone to go back to metal. Reception, I know, I know; black plastic apple on the back?
Doesn't make sense
haven't read through the all of the replies yet but the layout of the home screen of the nano doesn't make sense, because the app store and itunes are not on the first page, which they should be, as a marketing feature for apple. also between the last row and the dock, theres too much space there, compared to the real iphone.

it's a fake mockup/concept photo, whatever you want to call it, so it's pretty much guaranteed they screwed up somewhere.
Seeing as an iPhone nano wouldn't have the same resolution as a real iPhone, the App Store wouldn't even work on it, so the mockupists doesn't need to worry about including it in their mockups.
I still do not get the point in an iphone nano and if there is an iphone nano will there be a touch nano?
