Apple Nano-based phone coming

"Apple plans cheaper, Nano-based phone: JP Morgan

Apple Inc. (Nasdaq:AAPL - news) plans to launch a cheaper version of the iPhone in the fourth quarter that could be based on the ultra-slim iPod Nano music player, according to a JP Morgan report.

Kevin Chang, a JP Morgan analyst based in Taiwan, cited people in the supply channel he did not name and an application with the U.S Patent and Trademark office for his report dated July 8.

Apple filed a patent application document dated July 5 that refers to a multifunctional handheld device with a circular touch pad control, similar to the Nano's scroll wheel."

There! Now aren't you glad you waited to buy one? You didn't? Oh, sorry....

iPod Undressed

You’ve maybe seen the iPod clothing, the little outfits you can dress up your iPod with so it can feel secure and warm and maybe act out some fantasy it has of being something more than just an MP3 player. No? Well where have you been? You’d better catch up here: http://www.iattire.net/

Well, believe it or not, there are some deviant iPods out there that were born with apparently exhibitionist tendencies. Luckily, there is now hope for them. IVUE offers an iPod mod to strip off that cover of your iPod and expose its components for all to see. The kit comes with a clear plastic case for your nano, video or gen4 iPod, a pair of screwdrivers and some plastic scratch polish, lest you get a little too excited as you strip down your gadget. Woo Hoo!
