iPhone Nano “rumoured” for Christmas

Apple is preparing a scaled-down version of the iPhone 3G for the Christmas pay-as-you-go market, with a device similar to the iPod Nano.

The UK based Daily Mail is publishing this rumour, adding the quote: “This will be a big one,” says an industry source.

“The iPhone 3G has been the fastest-selling phone ever in the UK, but it is too expensive to be a realistic proposition in the pay-as-you-go market,” continues the source.

Cut down design

“However, a cut down version, with the candy bar shape of iPod nano music players, would be a huge hit as a Christmas gift.”

The handset would be likely to cost around £150, to appeal to those who can’t afford the £300 for the iPhone 3G sans contract, which is rumoured to be coming soon.

The article also cites an expert saying that the device might have a touch screen on the front and a touch wheel on the back from which to dial numbers.

As one of those envious to have an iPhone 3G but unwilling to pay out lavish amounts in the short term, this may be an option for me to consider. I’d like the “rumour” to be substantiated, however, and for Apple to announce their intentions well before Xmas. Then I can work on my wife as regards that special present ~ for me, not her!

Come on Apple ~ Get moving
