I wouldn't be so sure about that. A leak like this get's EVERYONE talking about about Apple at MWC without them even being there, and without leaking physical evidence. Apple is eating this up right now.

The important part of the iPhone is the screen.
IThe screen is almost exactly the size of a standard business card.
So the iPhone as a device could (in theory) shrink quite a bit, without losing screen size or pixels.

They did do. Microsoft's Voice Command that ran on the Windows Mobile platform more than 7 years ago (don't know if it's still around) knocked socks off Apple's current voice control implementation.
I would much rather have a 4" iPhone as well. Many people are saying its a phone, and yes it is, but I use it for far more than that. As a matter of fact, I use the data on it WAAAY more than I even talk on it. My big fat thumbs take up half the screen when trying to do stuff on it. I have held 4" phones before and they feel great. If you look at the Fascinate by Samsung, the phone itself really isn't that much bigger. It is just using more of the phone for the screen. It is dang near as thin too. So, these things are possible, but we all know Apple would rather have something paper thin and as small as a fingernail.

Why does this rumor come up every single year? Apple has already said there's no reason to have varying sizes if you have the perfect size already. What we should be hoping for is cheaper rate plans.. That's where we're really getting ripped off!! You can pick up a 3GS w/ a 2 year contract for only $49 bucks! Apple may reduce the price of buying the phone outright on their current-sized models, but rumors of an iPhone nano have always been and will always be absurd.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but Navigon is great. I use it all the time. The voice directions are excellent.
I think do ANYTHING on this phone would be a pain. I guess those with pudgy fingers need not concern themselves with this phone.
Is it voice navigation to control phone or is it voice navigation added to maps ?
Not really seen anywhere where it tells us which, are people just assuming its to control phone
Apple purchased Placebase, an online-mapping company 2009 maybe its to do with that
LOL at all these mockups showing the current iPhone 4 with the top and bottom chopped off. <<shakes head>>
Really?? Apple is going to update the iPhone? Now THAT'S unexpected news 🙄 It's going to be called iPhone 5 and you can expect it in June.
Where do they get these rumors?!
The newspaper also adds that the iPhone 4 is also expected to be updated.

Considering it is upgraded every year, all I can say is... DUH!!!!
Have you try one of the Android phones? Voice commands are far superior to iOS. 90% accuracy for navigation and calling. I just don't understand why Apple can't do it.
