iPhone Nano Rumors Revived in Otherwise Quiet Lead-in to Macworld

[crudsponge]

Probably a lot of mad customers. that's technology though. But, Apple has been doing MacWorld in January for a long time.

I don't think Apple is going to focus on iPhones or even touch the iPhone during January MacWorld. Apple will touch 5 topics during the keynote:
#1 will be all about Demoing Snow Leopard (April release?)
#2 New displays
#3 MacPro update
#4 iMac update? / Mini Update?
#5 ?

It all has to coincide and sync with one another. iPhones in June Folks. If Apple touches the iPhone in January, it will be a 32GB iPhone. They'll save any major iPhone announcements for June. Plus, they only have an hour and a half to demo stuff... it can't be all over the map.

Could this be why Big Steve was asking the developers to get ready for Resolution independence about... oh... 2 years ago?

Hahahah. That is EXACTLY what I was thinking as soon as I saw the picture with the smaller screen.

Resolution independence will probably make it into the iPhone right around when Snow Leopard comes out, which could also bring an iPhone nano then or a few months later. I say this won't happen until WWDC or November-ish '09, but I'd like to put in my bid that it's going to have a lot to do with resolution independence.

Keepin' it real fake, part CLXXI: iFone 3G is more than phonetically inaccurate

Here is the story that was with the photo.
Not even 24 hours after discovering the completely befuddling iFone x1 comes this, something entirely more recognizable, yet just as wrong. The iFone 3G is -- so far as we can tell -- the first mass produced KIRF of the iPhone 3G, and if history has anything to prove, it'll be just the first in a long, long linage. The best part? The whole "3G" thing in the model name is not representative of actual data band support, so the best you'll do on this heap of festering rubbish is EDGE. At the $5 to $10 range, we could definitely see picking one up for kicks and giggles, but at $178? Psssh... no thanks, poser.

It's probably for this device
(sorry i thought the idea was pretty cool too)

I hope this is not true. I just upgraded my wife's phone and she would have been interested in a smaller iPhone. My 3G is much bigger than her RAZR and the new phone is an LG Shine, which is similar in size. I guess with internet [3G or EDGE] the phone could appeal to those that want an iPhone but not the internet fee, if they don't use it. There could be a market for such a phone.

Jingle bells dude!
