in Future Apple Hardware edited January 2014
with the taking away of the video from the nano apple has smashed a hole in its ipod line up



or is apple positioning it self for some thing greater



right now we are stuck with the 160 g and the touch for video playback



maybe apple has some thing else coming soon



a smaller touch like phone



a lesser iphone at a lower more mass market price



dick tracey like



that will fill the hole

    it will do video <<no pics >>



    Makes zero sense.



    Quote:

    it will do app and games



    Not with a screen of a different ratio.



    Quote:

    it will be a carrier less phone



    Good luck with that. Entertain your fantasies on your own time.

    it will be $ 20 a month flat call charge like a skpe deal



    Right, because Apple would be the one dictating pricing and the telecoms SURE wouldn't make you get a data plan. KEEP DREAMING.

    you will need as top end mobile me account



    Oh, so forcing users to pay $100 a year for all eternity. It would NEVER sell.



    Quote:

    it will netflix



    Having what to do with anything?



    Quote:

    it will NOT be a iphone ios 4



    Then it isn't an iPhone and isn't an Apple product. You planning to release this yourself? Because Apple sure as heck wouldn't.



    Quote:

    it will sell for under $300 WITH NO CONTRACT



    Insert relevant song lyrics involving dreams here.

    this will be a WORLDWIDE PHONE , A pure server farm internet connect device that can and will work on any system out there WORLDWIDE .

    these are my thoughts

    please add to it



    This is insane. Even by old-me standards. Leave the speculation to the people with realistic expectations for Apple. You'll only hurt yourself otherwise.

    Nothing. If you want a camera and video playback, Apple wants you to spend more on a touch. And they know you will.

    When on a farm it is best to call a bull a bull and a cow a cow, otherwise you might find yourself milking the wrong one!



    So you should be asking for a smaller iPhone, which by the way may be a very good idea. For some people even an iPhone is on the big size. Obviosly if the unit got beloe a certain size some functionality would have to go. Some of that could be made up with Blutooth or iPod connector attachments.



    Interestingly the post above with the pics hit upon this concept. For example a Pod connector device that can function as a keyboard, an additional battery, a WiFi and GPS node or what ever fucntionality one would want to plug into the Mini iPhone. The base unit could get by fine with 3G and basic cell functionality and mayby an accelerometer. The tough part being balancing features with battery size. The new nano is likely to small but we would want to go much bigger either.



    I'm actually wondering why iPhone Nano is taking so long. It is a pretty obvious move from what I can see. Many people are put off by iPhones size and don't really want all the features of iPhone. However the address book and other syncables are critical. With current technology this should be doable, though battery life time would likely suck.

    Thank you for a great well thought out post .



    Yes A smaller iphone is what i want or its what the world needs.



    Yet i say NANO phone because APPLE hass a patent on a unique or MAC OSX PLUS version of M.V.N.O. S W.

    thats >> Mobile Virtual Network Operator

    Read more here

    > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_virtual_network_operator<<;



    So in Apples version of M.V.N.O. We the Nano phone owners would have APPLE AS A GATEKEEPER . Apple for its part would tie down the 6 major USA Carriers to a unified agreement stating that Apple would buy or lease or somehow hold/control large blocks of telephone/data time << Minutes or 10 second packets i guess >> This works well when the CARRIERS are in a slow peridot and would be happy to sell data minutes . The posted link explains much better than i ever could .



    The reason why this is a major future operation for america and the world is we may as a people STOP building so many duplicated phone systems. WE could share . And Apple would get us the cheapest minutes available.



    ADD in

    face time

    WI FI

    ipod music

    ipod video



    and we could have a full glass model on both sides

    that super new screen

    and since we have no click wheel

    THE FAT NANO form factor may return !!!



    And yes that server farm apple built .looms very large now i guess .



    PS i regret to say that i did not understand the post with the pics in them ??







    peace

    so mr wizard dude

    please think that if all this happens in some form and the price is

    less than $250

    w/ no contract and a

    flat fee of $28.50

    a month

    apple could sell The Fat Boy Nano Video Phone in the millions .





    or not.

    I've never wanted an iPhone. That said, if Apple release a Nano sized iPhone, I will be first in line.

    i'm about too buy the touch

    or the iphone

    still the killed off old nano was so cool



    and the new nano while being a pure music play

    and so tiny and so square

    i guess it can become a big hit and still get the buyer to spring for other apple devices at the same time



    still the death of the fat boy nano and now this one leaves millions of young kids just coming of age not knowing the joy of movies and stuff on a cheap light small device



    apple should have kept both



    kill the shuffle



    i own 3 of the old nanos 2 in a sealed box

    i am looking to buy a fat nano sealed also .



    i guess apple will release smaller and larger touches soon so they had to clear some room



    peace
