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."
The iPhone shuffle jokes. They aren't funny.
The sad part is that they will manage to hype it up as a real product again..
Being anti-apple isn't being a troll. I consider it to be a sign of intelligence.
Posting anti-apple isn't flamebaiting. It's warning others of the problems of all things apple.
Modding an anti-apple statement down is being a troll. More than likely, it's an Apple employee doing it.
If we could see the asshats who are modding, and respond to them, we'd know who the apple employees were.
Who is general failure, and why is he reading my hard drive?
Awwww what's the matter?
Am I picking on poor wittle Apple too much?
Shut the fuck up, crawl back under the rock, and wait 3 million years in the hope that your descendants will climb the evolutionary ladder before they crawl back out....
