Vaja Also Hints at iPhone Nano?

Although this is still a rumor, it really makes sense in light of Apple's recent partnership with Wal-Mart. Wal-mart, as you know, caters to price-conscious (and who isn't these days) consumers. By offering a "slimmed" down version of the iPhone (both physically and feature-wise) at a lower price (say $100.00 new), Apple has the most direct route to these price-conscious consumers, with the added benefit of Wal-mart also serving as an additional distributor of the full-featured iPhones. I really does make sense.

Add to that the ensuing recession/depression, and this is a no-brainer

If Apple does make it (and I'm supposing that with all these rumors that they do), then hopefully it'll be an amazing device- and the iPhone nano should have something that differentiates the iPhone nano from the iPhone rather than size...

Or that would be lame.

The world's thinnest mobile phone. :D

When I switched from my 13" macbook to my 15" MBP, I had to buy all new programs. That really sucked. Oh wait a minute, no I didn't :rolleyes:

Wrong comparison. The iPhone's GUI is dependent on finger size. A smaller display means smaller controls or a cramped GUI, neither of which is beneficial to the fingers.

What I'm saying is that all Mac Rumors is driving traffic to Vaja's website. At one point there was a form for stupid people to fill out about the iPhone Nano!

Vaja is not even a major player in the iPod or iPhone case market. Apple doesn't even sell their products! And let's face it, a majority of people buy their iPod and iPhone cases when they buy the product!

There will not be an iPhone Nano. Trust me. One of the biggest complaints about the iPhone is that it's difficult to type on it because of the screen, so let's shrink it down further!

Also don't hold your breath for an iPhone to run on Verizon anytime soon!

Vaja is a really upscale company and it wouldn't fit with their previous 10 years of history to all of a sudden pull a stunt to drive some web traffic.

I'm not saying it's impossible, just highly unlikely.

I definitely agree. Vaja is the real deal and is very expensive. I highly doubt a company like them would put a product on their website that won't even exist.

And I cannot wait to laugh at the doubters too. Because its at least 65-70% doubters on this website.

With all due respect for Vaja, I can comment on their access to internal Apple info as their prime competitor in the premium iphone case market (hint: the company I work for is my username spelled backwards).

Though we case makers spend a lot of time trying to anticipate what the next great Apple design will be, most of us no little more than the next guy knows -- even if we are a reputable company that has high level contacts with Apple. One thing is for sure: if Apple did give us access to confidential info on a product, the very last thing we would do is go and create a new section in our website dedicated to that product before it was launched. That would blacklist us with Apple for life.

Vaja was clever using this buzz about the "iPhone Nano" to get a little free promotion and to generate a list of potential customers when they give their email address at their site, I can assure you they know just as much about the viability of a potential new product as the rest of us.

So sorry folks: Vaja is not in a position to take Steve Job's place in presenting a new iPhone to the world.

I have my doubt that there is an impending Nano phone. If you recall, we usually see a lot more concrete leaks and detailed specs when a groundbreaking product is on the verge of coming out. All we've heard is very general speculation thus far.

Maybe, but who says the screen would be smaller; there's a lot of non-screen space on the front of iPhone, not to mention the thickness of it. Maybe an iPhone nano would just be thinner, and shorter top to bottom with a smaller home button and smaller speaker, etc.
 
i thought apple was going to stop giving away specs for cases because of the nano leak... o well hope this iphone nano isn't on verizon cause i just my storm :p
 
No longer on their website?

Bit late reading this thread... I just followed the link to the vaja website and i can't see any reference to the iPhone Nano... Am i looking in the right place or have they now removed it? Apologies if someone has already mentioned this....
 
About the resolution issues, isn't the iPhone and iPod Touch OS basically a customised mobile version of OS X? I know OS X is supposed to be resolution independent, so I wonder if Apple could implement the same resolution independence into an iPhone Nano?
It would make some apps very fiddly to use however, and it seems to be a bit of a nightmare to do.
As is mentioned in the original post, Vaja has no official release as Apple will only tell 3rd party case developers the same time the rest of us knows, so perhaps it's just band-wagon-jumping on the back of an unsubstantiated rumour.
 
First XSKN now Vaja, looks like the iPhone Nano is on the way. Not sure if this was posted here yet, but did anyone notice when you go to www.iphonenano.com it doesn't take you to the Apple website anymore like some of the iPhone blogs reported?

Now it takes you to a forum, I wonder if this is just a cover up by Apple?
 
When will they god damn realise we don't ALL want a @#%!@ing phone!
Ipod Nano Touch edition.

I want to get rid of this 4G Nano 16gb, it's AWFUL compared to the 3G nano fatty :(
