So before people keep on yammering about how it would be a dumb product, THE TARGET MARKET WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT BE A SINGLE PERSON ON THIS FORUM.
ASIDE FROM THE FACT THAT A HANDFUL OF US HAVE DECLARED WE WANT ONE

Also, I think Apple should be "nanoing" the Mac Pro before anything else. I always wanted to purchase a Mac Pro, but I found it too bulky comparing with other PCs. I'm using the first generation Macbook Pro, and am planning on buying a Mac Pro...but it's really too huge.
Would be a good move to capture the lowend market, basically a iPod nano with GSM. No apps and no internet but a basic phone with iPod functionality to compete directly against the Sony Walkman GSM.
Apple would sell millions and they don't compete with the big iPhone so i don't see why this is a bad move. I want a bigger screen iPod tablet but a cheap small iPhone as an extra would be nice.![]()
Yeah, they'll release an iPhone nano and an iPhone shuffle that just dials whoever whenever![]()
What do you live in? A refrigerator box?

On the other hand, I want to buy an Apple display along with the Mac Pro, but the displays that Apple is offering haven't been updated for a long, long time...
I think everyone forgets that the original iPhone done with motorola was a flop.Why would they want round 2 of that crap.
I seriously doubt they will kill their flagship product now with a stripped down version, but I have been wrong before....
What makes the iphone great is its mobile safaripad like qualities not that it can play music. I do not even bother to load much music onto the iphone anymore... just stream it.![]()
A 'Mac Tablet' seems a pointless device to me. Bigger than an iPhone, but smaller than a laptop. There's no need for something to plug this gap - nobody wants an Etch-A-Sketch type device.
Insane. That statement is utterly divorced from reality.
There are about 1,000,000,000 that could use an iTablet in the world, when they get wireless. The notebook computer is a pointless device, or will be when the tablets come into being. Think about how stupid the design of a laptop is, how ergonomically awful it is, how non-mobile it is aside from being able to be carried from sitting position to sitting position.

I think an iPhone Nano is a very possible device and I think it would sell like hotcakes. Take the old Nano form factor (not the new fat one), remove the clickwheel and add the iPhone interface but without Safari. But keep the camera (all cheap cell phones have cameras these days). Sell it for $99 subsidized with 2 year contract. Introduce it in time for the Christmas buying season. I bet they couldn't make enough units to sell. I know I'd buy one in a heart beat. Plus I'd also buy an iPod Touch so as to have internet capability via WiFi. I think they would complement each other nicely. There is an entire market out there that would like to have an iPhone like device but doesn't need the Internet on it and don't want to pay the $30 data rate but would like to have the iPod capability on their phone.
