iPhone Nano: Available In 2011?
The tech news sphere was set alight earlier on this week after rumors surfaced from the business paper, Bloomberg BusinessWeek that Apple might be working on creating an iPhone 'nano ' in an effort to capture the moneymaking budget mobile telephone sector. The paper claims that after years of conjecture, Apple is still working on a restricted budget version of its flagship buyer device .
A source from the publication stated its source came from 'people who had been briefed on the plans ' and that 1 other source had seen a working prototype that was at least a 3rd smaller compared to the current iPhone four and uses existing components from the prevailing generation to cut on production costs while the more costly premium components are held back for its yet to be launched iPhone five.
Further interest into the 'nano ' iPhone was raised after the WSJ backed up the prior allegations of a budget offering being lined up from Apple. Also rumoured was a revamp of its MobileMe service due to flagging sales and low subscription numbers, with a possibility of exclaiming that the service will be free to iPhone users and should be changed from a synchronised offering of mail, contacts and calendar to a digital content platform where users could back information up to. It might also include the long rumored streaming service for iTunes after Apple's acquisition of the streaming based website Lala.
Unfortunately this news, whilst backed up by 'sources ' can not be taken as confirmation, as across the iPhone's history there were continuous rumours of a smaller budget model cell-phone offering from Apple throughout the years.
The rumored sources also leaked information that Apple might intend to make the forthcoming iPhone five a 'world phone ' by including GSM and CDMA technology, as it had to launch a CDMA iPhone four variant in its home market to delight American customers. A teardown of the CDMA device found that the technologies and hardware were in place for a 'world phone ' version, but the absence of a SIM card slot was the single thing from stopping the company from launching it, preferring to release 2 separate devices.The iPhone 'Nano ' will also have competition from the just released, and previously Palm, HP Curve smartphone.
Launched at the beginning of Feb, the Curve is an evolution of Palm's Pre line of phones, with models being offered in small, medium, and enormous sizes. The Curve being the smallest, the Pre3 being the mid sized device and a new web OS powered tablet, the TouchPad, finishing the massive offering.Only time shall tell whether these rumours prove to be true as having a budget device in a manufacture's line up can prove to be a killer option as seen with HTC's Wildfire handset which supplies premium investigates an affordable cost.
