Here Comes iPhone Nano, But Not In the US

jehovajerieh writes to us in the time-honored tradition of rampant Apple speculation, pointing to an article over on IBTimes suggesting that while the iPhone Nano may be on the way, the US might not be the first to experience this gadget bliss. "Despite limited information in the supplier channels and typical secrecy with new Apple products, insiders have confirmed that the iPhone nano is not yet in the testing labs at AT&T, Marshal says, leading him to believe that the launch will most likely be with a non-US carrier. 'Obviously, the best-case scenario here would be a China launch (~600mil+ wireless subscribers total in the country), but we have no definitive knowledge of this and are working on identifying the [locale] of launch and other pertinent details,' he said."

    iPod NoNo had 2 controls, play and volume, and only played music on shuffle, if memory serves.

    So. . . the iPhone OhNo will have 1 button and call random people on your phone list?

    I can see Stevo really playing that up as a new form of social networking.
