Apple Plans Cheaper Nano-Based iPhone
bigkahunafish writes "It seems Apple is planning a cheaper version of the iPhone possibly based on the iPod Nano. This phone would be priced below $300 making it more affordable than the $500-600 iPhone. This should bring Apple phone technology into the hands of more users, though this cheaper phone could have more limited functionality. From the article: 'Sales of the [original] iPhone are expected to be limited to a small percentage of the market due to its high price tag, particularly in the United States where 85 percent of consumers tend to spend $100 or less on cell phones. But analysts forecast that a cheaper phone from Apple, which leads the digital music player market, could pose a much bigger threat to long-established phone makers such as Nokia, Motorola Inc, Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and Sony Ericsson, owned by Sony Corp and Ericsson.' I just hope they don't make a phone based on the iPod Shuffle."
Until slashdot decided to strip out all of my formatting, it looked quite nice.
I'd assumed that since it looked fine under preview that it'd go through the way I'd formatted it....
Gotta love the "html formatted" default... now where's my hammer.
Who is general failure, and why is he reading my hard drive?
I'll be waiting until there is an AT&T-free version of the iPhone. Until then I really don't care about the iPhone.
