Wow, who would have thought that one?? How much research did they have to do? They really must have gotten Steve Jobs drunk over whisky for him to have spilled that one out.

No Sh*t. Idiots.

Originally, I assumed the original analysis report was just incompetence and confusing a REAL upcoming product (touch-screen iPod Nanos 8-30GB, Flash-memory based, by the Xmas shopping season, probably announced in mid-Sept) with a NON-EXISTENT product -- the 'Nano iPhone'. In my post on the original story here I mentioned a few of the many, many reasons why a nano-phone will NOT happen this year, or next year, or, as widely depicted, EVER.

NOW it occurs to me that it would be a clever strategy by a cellphone competitor to have this sort of fake rumor leaked to the iPhone-ravenous media. What better way is there to torpedo iPhone sales than by getting people to hold off for a 'fall' product that, if it EVER appears, will be a couple of years away?

Although Apple do not generally say anything on upcoming products before the official announcement, they should DEFINITELY get on top of this one to officially CRUSH this BS rumor.

Yo ... Steve ....

As to the rumor, well, duh. It would be stupid for Apple to release a low cost iPhone so quickly. I expect Apple to release a more fully featured iPhone, more ram, gps, 3g, replacing the current models, within 6-9 months. Possibly sliding the current models to lower price points, like $350-$450. Then after Apple has solidified it's market there... expect a lower cost iPhone mini in the $250-$350 range.

Look at the iPod for a clearer view of how Apple will probably fill out it's product line. The iPod mini didn't come out till fourth gen., 2.5 years after the first iPod. ]]>Jul 10th 2007 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/jp-morgan-retracts-iphone-nano-insinuations-hints-at-3g-flavor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/jp-morgan-retracts-iphone-nano-insinuations-hints-at-3g-flavor/Jul 10th 2007 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/jp-morgan-retracts-iphone-nano-insinuations-hints-at-3g-flavor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/jp-morgan-retracts-iphone-nano-insinuations-hints-at-3g-flavor/Jul 10th 2007 7:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/jp-morgan-retracts-iphone-nano-insinuations-hints-at-3g-flavor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/jp-morgan-retracts-iphone-nano-insinuations-hints-at-3g-flavor/
I knew this was a load of bunk from the getgo. There's no way that R&D could've come that far along to be able to squeeze what apple had taken 2 years to do in a regular sized version to be able to slam it all into a mini. I mean, with all the phones needing to not be the size of PDA's anymore, don't you think they would've gone smaller in the first place if they had the capapbility? It just wouldn't work (at least not now). People need to get their facts straight. Another reason I hate rumors.]]>Jul 10th 2007 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/jp-morgan-retracts-iphone-nano-insinuations-hints-at-3g-flavor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/jp-morgan-retracts-iphone-nano-insinuations-hints-at-3g-flavor/wtf...if the regular iphone isn't high-priced, then what is lol?]]>Jul 10th 2007 8:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/jp-morgan-retracts-iphone-nano-insinuations-hints-at-3g-flavor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/jp-morgan-retracts-iphone-nano-insinuations-hints-at-3g-flavor/ ]]>Jul 11th 2007 1:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/jp-morgan-retracts-iphone-nano-insinuations-hints-at-3g-flavor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/jp-morgan-retracts-iphone-nano-insinuations-hints-at-3g-flavor/Jul 10th 2007 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/jp-morgan-retracts-iphone-nano-insinuations-hints-at-3g-flavor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/10/jp-morgan-retracts-iphone-nano-insinuations-hints-at-3g-flavor/
