Mac News: Will We Finally See The Iphone Nano?
The tech stories sphere was set alight earlier on this week after rumours surfaced from the business paper, Bloomberg BusinessWeek that Apple may be working on creating an Iphone 'nano ' in an attempt to capture the profitable budget cell-phone sector. The paper claims that after years of conjecture, Apple is still working on a low budget version of its flagship consumer machine.
A source from the publication stated its source came from 'people who had been briefed on the plans ' and that one other source had seen a working prototype that was at least a 3rd smaller in comparison to the current iPhone four and uses existing components from the current generation to chop on production costs whilst the more pricey premium components are held back for its yet to be launched iPhone five.
Further interest into the 'nano ' iPhone was raised after the Wall street journal backed up the prior claims of a budget offering being lined up from Apple. Also rumored was a revamp of its MobileMe service due to flagging sales and low subscription numbers, with a possibility of saying the service will be free to iPhone users and will most likely be changed from a synchronised offering of mail, contacts and calendar to a digital content platform where users could back data up to. It may also include the long rumoured streaming service for iTunes after Apple's purchase of the streaming based website Lala.
Sadly this news, while backed up by 'sources ' cannot be taken as an affirmation, as throughout the iPhone's history there have been continuing rumours of a smaller budget model mobile telephone offering from Apple across the years.
The rumoured sources also leaked info that Apple might intend to make the upcoming iPhone 5 a 'world phone ' by including GSM and CDMA technology, as it had to launch a CDMA iPhone four variation in its home market to delight American consumers. 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 only thing from stopping the company from launching it, preferring to release 2 separate devices.The iPhone 'Nano ' will also have competition from the newly released, and formerly 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 tiny, medium, and huge sizes. The Curve being the smallest, the Pre3 being the middle sized device and a new web OS powered tablet, the TouchPad, finishing the big offering.Only time shall tell whether these rumours prove to be true as having a budget device in a manufacture's line up can turn out to be a killer option as seen with HTC's Wildfire handset which can supply premium examines an affordable cost.
