Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
It wouldn’t be a iPhone as we know it. After all, if the iPhone nano had a touch screen, why not just use it to dial instead, as with the existing iPhone?
It sounds like it would be more iPod with phone tacked on, rather than handheld OS X computer as we have today with the iPhone and iPhone 3G.
We’ve also seen phones from Nokia that had a “scroll wheel”, and it made dialling numbers and selecting letters from an alphabet for SMS messages quite painful.
So, unless Apple also plans on a slideout dialpad to make dialling numbers and texting much easier, an iPhone nano with a touch wheel on the back, and no touch screen, could well be a iFlop nano.
While I’d love to see an iPhone nano in the style of the existing iPhone, I’m going to call BS on this one.
Time, of course, will tell, and Apple’s Peter Oppenheimer has promised “wonderful” new products from Apple.
But I’d say people are waiting for a Mac Tablet or iPhone Pro (potentially one and the same thing) before any “cheaper” iPhone nano.
Once again... one never knows with Apple, and it pays to expect the unexpected, so I can’t say it’s impossible... it just seems... unlikely.
My bet’s on a 32GB iPhone 3G appearing first, and the 8GB iPhone 3G going to US $99 instead. What do you think?
