They have to do this- a cheap anti smart phone which just is a phone and an MP3 player.
I woud go for a membrane keypad, scroll wheel and cheap $8 2.4" TFT LCD.
No Touch screen, no wi fi, no internet, maybe a camera but mainly a phone and a music player. That's all most people want
Cheap cheap cheap to get the low end market and still be an iphone. Its what apple have done with ipod. First released high end hard drive models then gradually secured the low end until they have the sub $100 shuffle. I think they will do this same scorched earth policy with the iphone range too.
The ipod is dead long live the iphone (s)

I don't think they'll make it in more colors.. I like the 2nd one, nice mockups!!
I'm waiting..
Nice, nice, i think you should consider putting the music covers not rotated
I'm coming up with a new one, with better ergonomics..

You know those are based on the videos of the new iPod interface... With that slanted artwork. I quite like it.
I know, i am also of opinion that that looks better. Just because you always have rotated artwork in your mockups.
i like it!!
This took me forever -_- But I'm finally done! What do you think?
I made everything from scratch again
I'm not one for using existing products and modifying them.
wow that really looks nice!!!!This took me forever -_- But I'm finally done! What do you think?

Great Job!!!
I added a white one
And this took me longer then I thought it would
The interface is what I call the film roll, you flick through the screen, and the icons at the top and bottom change- like they slide through, and the time and wallpaper stay put. It's like the squares on the outside of the film roll moving along.

Uh yeah. And I don't like most of the concepts posted here, the iPhone shouldn't have a click wheel, that's just inconvenient when it could have a big beautiful touch screen.
A click weel on a phone. What are you serious?
obviously you know how apple operates. they are constantly looking for newer and better designs. and better technology, ways to improve their products. it does not make any sense that apple would put a click wheel on this so called iphone nano.
how would that be brought about in the design meeting "sure guy's lets take a step back, and make our product mediocre, other companies can't compete with us"
A click wheel on a phone common man that is just idiotic, it defeats the entire purpose of an iphone, without touch screen iphone is just a regular music phone. only worse cause it can't take video. and you can't say that it would still have full internet cause it wouldn't due typing letters in would be practically impossible
wow some people are so dumb

I Like!
I think the iPhone Shuffle is a GREAT idea. Kind of a Douglas Adams/Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy sort of iPhone. It would actually end up calling who you really wanted to talk to, without realizing it.... I wonder if the volume on it would go to 11? (Sorry - mixing Spinal Tap and Hitch Hikers!)

I would love to have a smaller version of the iPhone with just the Phone and Internet features. I love the current iPhone but it's just a bit too heavy for me. If there was a downsized version I'd get it in a heartbeat...like an iPhone Shuffle

Sooo why not the other features? The one I posted is just downsized with a new interface.

I really like those! One little thing I don't like is the home button. Try and make it a little more realistic. Then it will be perfect.
I think a bunch of you are missing some very key points.
1) Any such "iPhone Nano" would be made for a market of people who MOSTLY NEVER EVER COME TO THIS WEB SITE.
2) Having just said that, the baby boomer generation isn't exactly known for having eagle eyes. Therefore, there is no need to make the device any smaller. This also saves Apple money on hardware and manufacturing.
Here's what a dumbed-down iPhone would need: all the phone stuff (favorites, contacts, the big keypad), calendar, photos, SMS, maps (w/GPS), weather, mail, and iPod. You could possibly add Safari to this, but just make it accessible through WiFi like the Touch. This way, people don't have to pay the $20/month for all the data features they wouldn't need.
This could probably be done just by offering the phone with different software packages. I just know my mom would use an iPhone if all it did was send and receive calls with that big ol' screen. Sync her contacts up and she's ready to go. She might use the iPod feature, but I haven't talked her into that yet. However, she did seem interested when I showed her the Clark Howard podcast today. If there was an I Love Lucy podcast, she'd probably rush out and get one tomorrow (for about $99).

That's what you think , but many other people don't think that way.
I also don't believe Appl will be making an iphone nano. Because Apple can't make enough profit on that...
