iPhone Nano To Be Launched By Christmas?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the wild-rumor-mongering-is-good-for-the-soul dept.

the-s-dog writes writes to mention that while there have been many people wishing on a star for an iPhone nano, it seems that at least one UK news pub is confident that it will happen, and in time for this Christmas no less. Still completely unfounded rumor, but an interesting possibility. "Apple is about to launch a 'nano' version of the hugely successful iPhone. It is expected to be in the shops in time for Christmas. The product will be launched in the UK at up to £150 for pay-as-you-go customers by O2, the mobile phone group owned by Spain's Telefonica. 'This will be a big one,' said an industry source."

    Too bad you always could and still can and always will be able to get a cheaper, better, faster, more compatible, less locked down blackberry. Seriously, iphones and all apple products are for arrogant, self important douchebags and who the hell knows why all the major news networks feel the need to report on it. Nobody ends up actually being happy with their iphone because of locked down crap and activation troubles, etc. Ever hear someone complain about their blackberry? NAH AH! It's just like Creative players vs ipods. They're cheaper with bigger screens and more features and free games and you can load them with any program you want and yet you're only really damn cool if you but an ipod so everyone does. I would think slashdot readers are smart enough to actually weigh the features and pros and cons against price and BUY SOMETHING ELSE!

    What kind of a word is "gullible"? Have you checked the dictionary?

    You mean they publish politically incorrect information? Gasp! How dare they!

    You should know by now that Apple doesn't really care how they hurt the developers because their marketing team says the demographic of Apple software developers consists entirely of people who either need to do it merely to survive and/or pay off college debt (subsistence programming, look into it sometime) or masochists. And the users are all zealots.

    As a result, no transition is too small for them to undertake.
