Yes, it is an old iPhone Nano concept pic. But its soooo cute!
Supply chain checks are usually reliable indicators of what a technology company has in store for future device launches. As such, Wedbush Morgan analyst Craig Berger cites reliable contacts and supply chain information in their prediction that Apple will indeed drop the iPhone Nano bomb on us in the first half of 2009. Berger says that their “contacts see a lower-cost version of the iPhone, possibly in mid 2Q.”
Apple has been rumored to be releasing an alternative, possibly smaller, iPhone form-factor to expand its iPhone lineup. We’ve been tossing around iPhone Nano rumors for quite some time, but this time around the rumors are gaining serious traction. Following on an iPhone Nano case announcement from legit iPhone case maker Vaja, this latest prediction makes good sense.
The iPhone Nano, or whatever the device ends up being named, was once speculated to be announced at the MacWorld Expo 2009. But, with Steve Jobs’s pull-out from the convention killing off any hopes for his traditional product-launching keynote, the iPhone Nano will likely launch in the months following the January convention.
