A picture comparing Apple’s iPhone with the iPhone Nano which is supposed to come out in October 2008 was published on Flickr. The iPhone Nano, as usual, will be smaller than it’s first generation predecessor but also cheaper retailing for a price of $300 or less.
The iPhone Nano will have a smaller 2,75″ screen compared to the 3,5″ screen of the iPhone Classic. According to this comparison it will not offer Internet access which is a huge drawback if you ask me. It is still multi-touch and combines a phone and music player in one device but will only ship with either 4 or 8 Gigabytes of Ram compared to the 8 or 16 Gigabytes of the classic iPhone.
I personally can’t see that the iPhone Nano will be highly successfully especially if you consider that it will not have Internet and less storage. Do you think it is a wise move to remove Internet from the iPod Nano ? Let me know.

There are lots of non-geek types that would never read a site like this one, that would go ga-ga over a $199 or a $219 iPhone.
Take off the geek glasses. :)
I think hackers will enable Internet in Nano version and then it will be usable. If I could choose I would take Nano anyway. I hate having a brick instead of small phone in my pocket.
And I wonder if smaller screen would make it work longer.
sme some of those internet obsessors r awesome at things like this but i dont know any :(
Removing the internet features is a mistake if you ask me. The number 1 reason why the iPhone was successful was due to the way it handled the internet. Does this also mean the wireless functions have also been removed?
It still does not support 3G and does it still support Edge?
the reason i think they took internet away is so they could make the nano smaller i know it stinks but if you add a myspace app or wtvr or have a ipod touch u prty much fixed the problem :D
Even on a 7″ Display(Eee PC) it ain’t the “real” Internet, like they try to tell you.
I’ll probably never get it, why the hell they highlighted that argument so much.
i think they did that is so the customer dosent sue walmart or target for giving them a jank phone
>The number 1 reason why the iPhone was successful was due to the way it handled the internet.<
Not true.
If I’m gonna pay more than 100 dollars(usd) then it better have the internet and a 2MP camera on it.
I picked up an iPod Touch, and its been amazing. I have always wanted an iPhone, so this might be what I am looking for – dont really need internet as I have my iPod Touch for that :)

I hate to break it to you, but how reliable is your source? Photoshopped: http://www.informationarchitects.jp/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/iphone_2.png ?
I don’t need internet on the go but i do love the idea of a “phone nano” so if it’s cheaper without internet it’s a pretty good deal compare to the rest of the phone models nowaday
Yes!!! I had the org. iPhone and I loved it but I didn’t use the internet and e-mail nearly enough to justify the very expensive bill. I gave it to my wife who uses that stuff all the time for her business. The pic above looks awesome, the fact that you will not have to pay for the insane data bill is awesome! I’d rather pay an extra $100.00 more for an iPhone nano with not data that can pick up Wi-Fi like the touch then have to deal with a 70.00 plus bill every month to use the internet/e-mail on the go. Can’t wait until October if that’s the date!!
Firstly thats a scaled version of the original (photoshoped) and its also improbable as the home menu button wouldnt be smaller, because know first hand apples insistance that that particular button be finger/thumb tip sized, no smaller.
I think the whole idea of inventing a smaller version of the iphone is a great idea!!!…..BUT, personally I don’t think that it will sell just because it doesn’t have the internet on it. And on top of that it doesn’t have alot of space to hold what you can put on the phone.
there would be no reason for apple to take of the internet unless there was some reason… and i think the reason is because it’s going to be a pay as you go phone, so it’ll be more affordable and be opening up the iphone to more people.
i think it’s a good idea.
then more TEENS whose parent’s say they don’t need an iphone because it has the internet and they don’t need the internet would be able to get it.
which is my case.
that’d be really cool. especially since there’s a new iphone that’s like 200 bucks, the nano would probably be like 100.
good idea.
yes, the size might be fine.
what no internet means. no wifi?
but you can still pay the EDGE to online, right?
The Nano is a “beta” for some future development of the iPhone – call it the “Nano Plus” – which will have all the functionality of the Classic (plus any new features that may have been developed in the meantime) with the Nano size and (maybe) price tag.
Apple is releasing the thing in order to get consumer feedback and decide if people like the new smaller size. If they do, then the “Nano Plus” with Internet access will appear in a year or two.
WOW is what i have to say. My god i have been waiting for the iphone nano since the iphone came out. O MAN O MAN who needs internet….who needs alot of memory….who the hell needs 3g. I know i dont. im gonna be in line a week before it comes out just so i can get one.
wow apple wow
(dumb F**KS)
Jake your the dumb f**k if you read anything youd know its a fake and the image is photoshoped
If it is a fake then o well but apple may take notice of it and mabye its is a future idea
I think it’s a great idea to remove internet. There are a lot of people that choose another phone over the iphone just because they don’t want the extra charge, but they would still like to have an apple branded music player and cell phone in one device. People that want internet can just go for the original iphone. Why do you think At&t even SELLS phones like the RAZR v9.
I don’t think they should remove internet. This is one of the things that makes the iPhone so great. I hope they also have email capabilities on it as well. Some of us prefer the larger capacity models for different reasons and professionally it makes sense for people who rarely have the time to sit at a computer. Smaller models should not offer anything less but the space. How people use the room it is entirely up to them. I think all applications should be open to it as well. I think a smaller version of the iPhone makes sense since I have been told by friends that they wish they had one but it’s just too costly.
On another note, parents I know tell me how their kids want iPhones. Why not make it easy on the parents’ budget, too? I say go for it and leave no feature behind! If the iPhones made such a big hit when they 1st came out, why wouldn’t the Nano phone do as well?
Oh did forget one thing. One should be allowed to block internet if they don’t use it just as you can do with any other phone that can use internet capabilities..
IT’S FAKE … notice the WIFI logo beside the AT&T…. was it not suppose to have internet ??? theres no icons for all the sofware for internet such as safari, maps, weather, stocks or youtube…. so … must be this picture fake
Maybe they removed the i-net because the keyboard was too small as it is. I don’t know how typing is possible on that size of screen. This is for the rich OC 10 year olds.
i was thinking like ok im going to wait for the iphone nano better than the iphone but then i read that it will have NO internet so i was like what? what the hell the internet is one of the reasons why the iphone is succesfull in the first place! they cant do that! i hope them to change their mind or something and keep the internet that will be perfect!
what is wrong with u? its an obvious fake.
I think the people who want internet access will obviously opt for the normal iphone.
But others, such as myself, that already have a blackberry for work, or for those non geeks, who want a cool looking phone will want it.
Brilliant idea to increase there market share for non-internet seeking, yuppyish people.
Ummm, no internet? Why on earth would you cripple a nano iphone with such a useful, inexpensive feature? Are they trying to save the $1 worth of hardware required to make it internet capable?
The nano is exactly the phone I want b/c the classic form factor is a BRICK. I want a small feature rich phone with all the bells and whistles.
There will be an I phone nano, but it will be dumb if it doesn’t have internet. There is also rumor that a cheaper Iphone will be sold at Walmart, but who knows.
iPod touch nano would probably fare much better, especially if they eliminated the other nanos.
